So its not exactly a pepper ID but started to grow some tomatoes along with my peppers and went out after church to look at everything and noticed the tomato plant was missing some top leaves? Thought maybe the weather getting warmer might have caused it but then HOLY CRAP WHAT THE? seen these two

Yep, Tomato hornworms, although they will eat your peppers, too. They turn into large and beautiful Hawkmoths, but they will eat your plants away to skeletons if you let them. Inspect your plants regularly and get them well before they are as big as this, if you can.
