I saw this at my friend’s farm recently. Check out the photos.
Any ideas about this puzzler?

Is it frass from the pipeline swallowtail caterpillar? I asked Merlin, and he thought the same thing. I thought they were too large, and he suggested swelling after deification. Is it caterpillar poop!
Hey Paula, the frass in that puzzler is actually from an American Beauty butterfly caterpillar, but I did mention the pipevine in the post, so I think that made it confusing! Sorry for that. I’ll try to be clearer next time. I think I was distracted by my getting-ready-for-Austin trip!!
Walked in my hoop house to pick tomatoes yesterdsy & found the exact same thing! My tomatoes & I both know the answer but let’s give someine else a shot!!
Ahh, you are funny! Yes, it’s hard to miss once you know what it is. Thanks for reading!
Obviously unripe raspberries
Ha, that’s a good one!! Thanks for following along.
is it some kind of Frass? It’s hard to say since there’s no scale for size.
Yes, it is frass, and yes, you are right, I need to put something in these photos for scale. That does make it more challenging.
