That one looks like a 'corn worm' which can also eat tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers.

Ordinarily I would tend to agree with Ty about not spraying after you found the worm. But you stated that you had tomatoes near by. ... I spray my bananas at the same time I spray the vegetables & citrus trees to keep the nana plants from be a host to white flies and other sap sucking flying insects that will devastate garden & citrus plants. The spray wont hurt the nanas and should you have fruit you would be ahead of the game of keeping insects off the bunch.
