I noticed the other day that 2 of my tomato plants had been eaten - all that's left is the stalks.  I thought nothing ate them?

Oh yes...there is a moth that its caterpillar eat tomato leaves..and will have a go with fruit too.
I've had few in my GH this year..but as soon as I see signs of it..I keep slapping my plants and the caterpillars drop off..then I just pick them off and chuck them outside.

Slugs eat the toms here too.

Thanks for posting this the growing tip of one of my tomatoes has disappeared.  No sign of caterpillar so suspect slugs/snails.  Actually I find the latter are better climbers so my money is on the snail.  I will have to get out with a touch one night.
