Rocky,

It is only effecting two bud sites on just one of the three plants. pulled it out again today and gave it a good going over and still nothing. I have two lizards hanging out with my back porch houseplants, gonna catch me one of those. Hell he/she should love it, temps 72 to 85 as of late, low humdiy and the bright light to lay around in. Hell he/she can even catch the occassional gnat that gets in there.

Maybe raising the c02 levels very high for few days would starve it of oxygen and kill it, you'd want it fairly well sealed for a few days instead of opening it everyday. Do lizards eat caterpillars? It'd have to find it first. There is probably an insecticide that would be safe in early flower but I don't know which ones work for caterpillars....assuming that's what you have. Could be grasshopper or something like that too but since the damage is so confined I still think caterpillar. :P

and with the UV on, the lizard will love it even more. you could probably charge it rent.

If he sees something that looks like that he should grab it and cut of it's ear...

You would think he would be laying on his back on a leaf just LHFAO.

I will find the little beggar, and when I do he will be green slime.

In my version he was laying on his side but he *was* laughing.

I wouldn't take that from a caterpillar... :lol:
