After a lot of worrying, the tortoise beetles in my garden just went away. I didn't get around to treat them, I just picked them off and disposed of the ones I saw.

I don't think tomato plants are it's prefered food. It goes mainly for plants of the morning glory family, bind weed, etc. so perhaps they were waiting for these plants to become more available and took of for greener pastures when they were ready.
