I UST LOOKED AT MY TOMATOES AND THEIR IS A BUNCH OF LITTLE ORANGE BALLS ON THE SOIL. WHEN YOU SQUASH THEM , IT LOOKS LIKE ORANGE PAINT COMES OUT. NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE IT. WILL IT HURT MY PLANTS AND IS THEIR A WAY TO GET RID OF IT? THANK YOU
Colorado potato beetle lay orange eggs but you’d find then on the underside of the leaves of the tomato. To control them, you’ll want this spray: https://www.bonide.com/products/garden-naturals/view/252/captain-jacks-dead-bug-brew-conc
Since it is on the ground though I suspect it may be a mold that mimics insect eggs during part of its life cycle. More on that HERE: https://curbstonevalley.com/blog/?p=1179
Let the surface of the soil in that area dry out and the mold won’t be a problem.
