I have a raised garden, so when I found these 3 inch green worms, about the size of my index finger feeding on my tomato plants I was baffled as to how they got there in the first place. They are nasty. And very good at hiding and camaflaging themselves to look like the green tomato stem. I did not know they were layed there by moths. it makes sense now.

I have cutworms that come out of the gap between my concrete garage and asphalt driveway. They have been coming into my garage! Today I decided i would clean that area. I used a sprayer with water. Several worms came out at that point. Before I was done, I noticed several things that looked kind of like kidney beans! Your article explained what they actually are. Ewww. I plan to seal the gap between the driveway and garage. There are no plants around, but I bet they hide there until nighttime when they go over to a pine tree/weeds that are not too far from my garage. Thank you!

I pulled up all my infested broccoli plants and have thrown them into the compost bin. We have been doing raised bed gardening and our brocolli became badly infested almost overnight. The hardest thing to do was to cut my losses by pulling up those plants. For some reason, they did not attack the pepper plants that were in the same bin but they did totally destroy the marigolds that were supposed to deter pests – go figure.
