Default Green catapillars eating my basil and lettuce leaves.

Green catapillars are eating my basil and lettuce leaves. I haven't
usd any pesticides. What are they and any suggestions? I'm in DC
zone 6 I believe. I lost the link to the zone chart.

I found one green cat eating the leaves of my basil a couple of days
ago and found one eating my lettuce leaves this morning. I took them
out and put them on weeds by the fence hoping they'll eat those. lol

Thanks,
Wil


The best thing for grubs is BT (bacillus thuringiensus) (spelling?) also known
as dipel and probably other names. It is non toxic and specific to grubs.
