I used the nematodes in my soil for my plants but if I did it for the sounding area where they are...I would have to do several acres. And sadly it rains too much here for DE.Larvae of some kinda moth would be my guess. You could use diatomaceous earth and/or inoculate your soil with bt or nematoes will all kill the rat bastards.
It does kinda look like them huh? only thing is when I looked them up they only get to be 1/16 long...these were around half an inch In size. But yes def on the right track. Thank you!Beetle larva. Maybe grape flea beetle Larva.
Why do several acres? What are you wanting to eradicate?I used the nematodes in my soil for my plants but if I did it for the sounding area where they are...I would have to do several acres. And sadly it rains too much here for DE.
but both great ideas
No man, at birth 1/16” but they get around 3/8” when they grow up.It does kinda look like them huh? only thing is when I looked them up they only get to be 1/16 long...these were around half an inch In size. But yes def on the right track. Thank you!
Oh I'm not...I just dont want them on my plants. They are just feet away from them and they are infesting the plants and chewing them to nubs.Why do several acres? What are you wanting to eradicate?
Well they seem to be only affecting this one particular plant whatever that is. So hopefully they just stick to that....otherwise.... its war lolNo man, at birth 1/16” but they get around 3/8” when they grow up.
Well its def a beetle of some sort. You are probably right. So we shall see what turns out of this. Thank you for the insight and help. I will just continue to spray neem on my plants and maybe add some cayenne pepper to it. Crossing my fingersNo man, at birth 1/16” but they get around 3/8” when they grow up.
This is most likely the case, most bugs/larva have a preference for certain plants and if they are in supply they don’t even look at other plants. Others are opportunists looking for weakened/sick plants to make it easier to attack.Well they seem to be only affecting this one particular plant whatever that is.

Good to know! Thank youThis is most likely the case, most bugs/larva have a preference for certain plants and if they are in supply they don’t even look at other plants. Others are opportunists looking for weakened/sick plants to make it easier to attack.
Yup, Dipel DF is a good brand of BT that's not too spendy. I just started using it to keep the squash borers away from my cucumber vines.spray your plant with bt
