I have no idea what they turn into or the species, but those little green inchworms are common cannabis pests. I can tell it's an inchworm or 'looper' by the leg positioning - front legs, back legs, none in the middle, so they loop as they walk.

I can tell you it is def. not monarch - I know those, the caterpillar is white/black/yellow banded, and are way bigger. They are not 'loopers' either, plus monarchs only feed on milkweed.

hehe I've always called em green budworms. Maybe an immature cabbage looper? (educated guess)

Peace

NONONO I grow outside and i come across them all the time, they usually attack cannabis , tomatos, and cabbage plants. Its a caterpillar from that white/yellow moth and its not good. Check under the leaves for little white/yellow eggs and remove them by hand. Oh and dispose of the worm

wtf are you getting aggressive about. Moths live in the attic in case you didnt know. Oh and at least my attempt to solve your problem wasn't as outrageous as thinking its a wanderer butterfly...

Those lil bastards wrecked havoc on my last outdoor crop! They get into the buds and will eat untill they cant eat any more! They eat some bud, get some munchies, eat more bud, get more munchies, etc...They leave buds rotton and mold settles in. I used to combat those fcukers on a regular basis! They are ruthless! Get rid of that "cute" lil monster!!!! Oh yea, they also shit all over your buds as well! How cute?

Don't know the name; but looks like the typical tomato plant caterpillar, and yes they come from moths. Okay, this will sound weird, and I have never done this, but heard this works for tomato's. Collect as many as you can, put them in a blender with water, put the liquid in a sprayer or hose end type feeder and spray the plants with it. The idea is, would you want be around an area where all you brothers and sisters just got slaughtered?

BT will give them indigestion but will not kill the eggs. I have heard the blender idea but doubtful that would kill the eggs.
 
Anyone got any real help to offer the man :bashhead: ?If it gets real bad and yer just trying to save yer crop,throw in some pest strips(i know people say there poisenous,but just dont keep them in there 4 ever and dont huff on them,lol.
).You will see the eggs start to dry up like they were hit by a nuke bomb,all sucked in and dryed up.Then remove the strip after you get it under control,and then use the safers as a preventative,imo.Hope ya get it under control,i hate pests,of all sorts,lol.Peace and stay safe,DancesWithWeed :wave:

"Anyone got any real help to offer the man? :bashhead: "

Nice opening statement... :bashhead:

---------

Well myself, if I had caterpillars I'd make 2 + 2 = 4 & go to some store garden sections and try looking at insecticides, aiming to find one good for caterpillars/eggs + safe for consumable produce. If there was no luck looking myself, I'd ask the clerk, you don't have to say its for MJ.

Google is yet another option to find a suitable insecticide, and a place to order it if nothing is available locally. How do you kill bugs? There are really only 3 options available: 1)Insecticide 2) Predators / parasites 3) Squish em.



Peace

edit: There, 1st hit, took all of 2 seconds...even specifies loopers & safe until harvest. Contains the bacillus mentioned below...

BT will not kill the eggs inferior brands will not kill the caterpillars,BT israliasis will kill them. BT isralasis will not kill the eggs.

This caterpillar does not lay eggs but there may be some present.
In order for the BT to work the caterpillar has to eat it. This is not a contact spray and will take days to work.

Correct, the caterpillars are the larval stage & they do not lay eggs. It is the flying adults - whether they be moths or butterflies that are depositing the eggs on the leaves.

Best of luck with the infestation, hope you get it under control quickly.

Peace
