uh-oh, caterpillars.

[dust22]

so, as most of you probaly know i have been posting new threads about my plant & how it's not been looking so well lately.

well, today when she came in at 7, i noticed a little green caterpillar.
after thoroughly checking through her, i found two more.

i have a bad feeling this could be a problem, and she's only got 2 1/2 weeks left on her, so i don't really want any insecticides on her, anyone know any home remedies for these little critters??

if not, what are some plant-safe repellents?

thanks!

aka BTk, aka BT.

Agway- I like Bonide's Thuricide product, but you can just ask for BT.

Naturally occuring bacteria, organic, safe- If ya want, I'll drink some.

Approved for use up to day of harvest.

Catapillar damage to flower bracts will usually be fairly minimal- they'll hose your leaf tissue, but it sounds like you're just about done with it anyway.
