name that grub

[fred_hawk]

I had lots of bugs over the year but never this one,

 

so what is it how do I kill it other than the 30 I  found and squashed.

30 is a lot they must be breeding around there..Praying mantis will eat the caterpillar if you can get one or two.  You can try to pick them all off.  Add a few drops of detergent in water and spray the plant, they don't like detergent. If that fails you may need a pesticide.

Caterpillars will chew into ya buds and cause rot. I lost 2oz from my harvest. Could have been a lot worse if it went unnoticed.

 

I pulled around 20 off my buds and some of those were during drying.

 

I decided not to spray as it was close to harvest. Either way they are best eliminated from the scene

When I was a kid we lived on an orchard with peaches plums apricots mangos and many other fruits. If i found a grub in my fruit mum used to say.

 

"If there's a grub in your fruit then there's some fruit in your grub. Might as well eat him too"

I think I got them all tomorrow I hit the plants with soap water just in case
