Hey guys, I have some kind of pest that is twisting and making the top most leaves stick together.



I pulled the leaves apart and there was I tiny tiny caterpillar/maggot looking bug in the curled up part of the leaf.


Any ideas what this Is?



Thank you for any help!

They are leaf rollers.
BT or a Spinosad product will bump them off.

Awesome Capt.! Thank you!


I've never seen this before. I just sprayed with Monterey Garden Spray so that will hopefully do the trick.



Thank you again!

Here is a couple more photos.


There appears to be some sort of silk or some type of webbing being produced.



Does anyone have the Latin name of these jerks?


Thank you all!

I've had leaves get used by small garden spiders for egg casings.
They'll fold the leaf in half and sew it together with some webbing which also encases their egg sack.
You'rs doesn't look like spiders though.
