Have a plant growing which I thought was coriander (first time
trying, but now I think it is just a weed). Found little larvae
living inside the leaves. Are these good guys or bad? Found a
lacey-winged thing on the bottom of a leaf but killed it beyond
recognition.

The larvae...

The Weed? Herb?

chenopodium sp, unless you seeded it, it's a "weed". i've seen it in disturbed soil in horse paddocks. (very disturbed soil!)

there are many sp of chenopodium

The plant looks like a dock!
Cheryl

Doesn't looks like any of the pictures of Dock that I could find. Wild
or Curly Dock look more like horseradish to my eyes.

This plant has whitish coloration at the stem of new leaves. The
leaves are totally flat. It has one main stem with new stem branching
from the crothces of lower leaves. The flower heads are beginning to
develop at the uppermost stem--which is why I need to know if it is a
weed. It is about one foot tall.
