    Peppers-tiny caterpillars

    Hi.
    Can anyone help. I am growing sweet peppers in pots in my conservatory. They are doing well and some fruit have already set. However some of the leaves are peppered with tiny holes and its spreading. I have found some tiny green caterpillars. What are these? And what should I do about it? So far I have picked off the caterpillars but they are very well camouflaged so have probably missed some.

    Many thanks

    That's about all you can do Caz, watch they don't get inside the fruits or you'll be having meat & veg in one meal..............

      I get this EVERY year! Tiny green caterpillars in my chilli leaves.

      They tend to somehow make the leaves curl up tightly, and the leaves will look a bit 'sticky' on the outside.

      If you have any leaves that look like this, then open out the leaf, as I bet there will be a caterpillar in there....
