Catepillers!
From: "Jenny"
What's the best approach to dealing with them? I've seen people talking
about a bacillus, but didn't see it at the garden center.
Some commercially available Bt varieties and target pests:
Bacillus thuringiensis
var. tenebrionis - Colorado potato beetle and elm leaf beetle larvae
var. kurstaki - caterpillars
var. israelensis - mosquito, black fly, and fungus gnat larvae
var. aizawai - wax moth larvae and various caterpillars, especially the
diamondback moth caterpillar
Some commercial products may mix varieties or contain additional varieties.
Check the label.
Marketed under various trade names such as Biobit®, Dipel®, Javelin®, etc.
