Pole Beans: Brown Striped Worm

20 years ago

Hello everyone! I'm a large container gardener working with a square foot gardening method and it's my first go at green pole beans.

Today, I found chewed up leaves and poop on my bean plants. Having (narrowly) avoided a caterpillar infestation of my heirloom tomatoes, I'm wondering if anyone can ID this worm who is a new fellow to the garden.

I've tried searching the forum for other similar topics and did come across a wealth of information about using sevin or bt or picking and tossing the worms. However, I just can't help it and I'm curious if I've got some sort of cut worm or what.

PS: This is someone else's picture of the same exact bugger who is starting his path of devastation... I happened to find it online when I was searching for an ID

Here is a link that might be useful: Unidentified worm on bean plant
