It only nibbles the Sage.  Far too pretty to kill.   ;D

Sorry, gets squished in my garden as it eats my lavender and rosemary too.  Is pretty though.

It eats my Lavender and to a lesser extent the Rosemary too but it doesn't kill the plants so why kill it?

My lavenders are young and small and a heavy infestation nearly did for them.

Well, I just caught my first one over the weekend, lurking close to my giant rosemary bush. *sigh*

I've been keeping an eye out all season, so I guess I've been lucky to get away with it so long.
