Insect damage?

by gr865 » Mon Feb 17, 2014 7:18 pm

SME,

Asking for some help here.

Have noticed some chewing I think, what is your opinion?

If it is a critter, I am just a few days into 12/12, what would you suggest I treat with.

Kinda looks like a leaf rasping insect of some sort, thought at first is was leaf burn from getting fert on the leaves but now I don't think so.
Thanks

Based on the amount of damage I don't think you'd need a scope to see it. I'm guessing caterpillar of some kind.

Search and destroy...

Thanks, my thoughts exactly, but I have scoped the entire plant and can't find a frigging thing. It is only on one of the three ladies I have in the cabinet.

Well guess I continue to look.

Thanks y'all,

GR

It might be small and green (looking like part of the plant) or it could be hiding when the light is on or off, check under leaves and pots. If you can't find it when the light is on, try first thing when the light starts, before it hides.
