Know your enemy

18 years ago

Did it ever happen to you: your plant is chowed and you don't see anyone responsible? You think it maybe cricket or slug - had a lunch and moved on. Not necessarily. If you have time and patience look right under the plant in the mulch, at the very roots, you may find what I did: black velvety caterpillars. They are very hard to see so you need

to put your nose to the ground. Obviosly they climb up at night to eat and hide at daytime. I don't know their name but that discovery for me was WOW!. I admire nature's ingenuity but killed all I could find, sorry.
