unknown pest

Post by khabbab »

Lots on my sweet almond verbena shrub. Saw some butterflies few days back as well. Are these butterfly larvaes? or pests. Holes are there in leaves. Any organic cure?

I think its the Gypsy moth larva, smoke will cause them to drop from leaves and twigs.. mosquito repellent coil can be used...
