i finally caught the culprit....but what is it? a worm or a catapillar of some sort. i have been having my pods munched on for weeks with holes chewed in them. i thought it was slugs, but i caught the little sucker in a pod laying on the ground and its not a slug. i wish i had a good enough camera to take a good pic...maybe i'll borrow one.....but this is what it looks like and acts:

--it is only maybe a centimeter long

--moves like an inch worm

---its fairly translucent, with a dark area near its posterior end

---on its back,near its rear, there is a "large" solid dot of very light orangish color(?), then there are (i think) 5 more dots

with each one smaller the closer they are towards the head end.

---no distinct head i can tell, but when it inches the head end is pointy, while the rear is more blunt

it would be great to know what this little pod destroyer is and how to aleviate the suckers of life. any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated--thanks all---bob
