Whilst watering my chillies this morning, I found a couple of these creatures rolled up inside a couple of the leaves.
Anybody know what they are?
Pic attached.
Thanks

Caterpillar of some sort, squish it!!!!!!Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet -
It looks hungry! Give it a new home well away from the veg. What beetle thing this could be (good or bad) ?Comment

Looks like a wooden bench to me.
Im sorry. I agree with Roitelet. Looks like a bad-boy. Destroy it.Please don't tap the glass

Oddly, last night read article on nasties and read about tomato moth caterpillars...they're green and maybe they like peppers too. I'd check your toms too. I'd never heard or caught sight of them in greenhouse before.Comment

well, I have removed them.
There were only 2 that I found.
Tomatoes are fine.
They have only very slightly damaged a few of the smaller leaves.
THey seem to have somehow completely wrapped themselves within the smaller leaves, and left a sticky substance surrounding the leaf.
I unpeeled the 2 leaves, and out came this caterpillar thing!
THey have not touched the flowers.Comment
