Lacanobia oleracea
Found it eating tomatoes. Favouring suburban habitats as well as salt-marshes, the larval foodplants in the wild are usually orache (Atriplex) and goosefoot (Chenopodium), but it can sometimes attack cultivated tomatoes, feeding internally in the fruit.

There were few of them on the same plant but in different stages so some had brown and some yellow colors.
