Bollworm
Bollworms are the larvae or caterpillars of a night-flying beige-brown moth. The colours of the caterpillar can differ from shades of green to shades of brown and even yellow. It has a characteristic beige band along the length of its body, which can be 20-30 mm long.
Bollworms are persistent pests of almost every plant and can feed on leaves, fruit, flowers and young stems, causing considerable feeding damage. The caterpillars move around while feeding and often leave only the feeding damage and frass (excrement) behind as evidence of their feast.
