Does anyone know what type of bug this is and how I can get rid of them? It is eating my tomato and peppers leaves in my garden. Thanks!

I've got them too. I just pull them off and crush them. But I am not overrun with them.

It's called a clavate tortoise beetle.

We simply pick them off the leaves.
