YES! I hate those things. They'll pick hole in every fruit just to ruin them and fly away. The one that's been stealing my blueberries I've nicknamed Satan. Sorry about your tomato smush! The one has markings on it, were you trying for a particular breeding? Oh and the only way I've managed to slow them down (because they will peck anything reachable THROUGH it) is bird netting, draped over each plant and secured to the ground with rocks.
