Title: Green Grub?
Post by: cambourne7 on February 18, 2007, 20:24:27

Hi Guys,

When i was digging the plot over yesterday i found a couple of vivid green curled up things that looked like caterpillars.

I have googled green caterpillars but cant find it and unfortunatly i did not have a camra with me.

Any ideas?

same thing's on the chinese leaves etc in the poly..they are easy to spot though, they fall off when I move the plant, don't know what they are :)

I believe they are cabbage moth. I was reading about them recently. I've found lots over the past month.
