Caterpillars destroying outdoor buds — emergency help
Found caterpillar frass (droppings) inside my buds and some bore holes. These things are eating my flowers from the inside! How do I stop them without ruining my buds?

Pests are the worst part of growing. Early detection and prevention are key. Here's what worked in my garden when I dealt with this.

Be "in the garden" every day checking them is the best way.
The morning time when the sun is coming out and it's starting to warm up is when they are most active and easy to spot. They hide in the daytime when it's hot. Sterilize Scissors and tweezers to remove them.
