More questions, lol

Thanks e'one for the info on winter squash, now how do I know when they are ready to harvest? They have turned from light green to a peach color but are not as big as the ones in the grocery store. Should I let them continue to grow or pick them now? They are about 5-6 inches long. Also, from the same group of seeds some of the fruit are long and some are short and round, what's up with that?

Next, I found a small bug/worm? on a new tomato. It was burrowing a hole, I got it out but should I remove the tomato from the bush or will it be ok. Kinda yucky to think about eating it after that, lol.

Ya'll have been very helpful to me, thanks so much.
