Gooseberry 'Captivator' with grubs
Gooseberry
Grafton Australia
We have found small green caterpillars inside the leaf tips on the Captivator variety of Gooseberry. The grubs have stuck the leaf tips together with silk webbing.
The plants are in Melbourne (temperate climate/Spring). We are planning to plant a crop in Northern NSW, near Grafton, which is of course a different zone (semi-tropical, summer rains) so these are a test batch to observe and learn from.
If anyone is able to identify the grubs (and perhaps advise if they are likely to occur in different climate zone) that would be appreciated.

This is a great video series of Dr Elaine Ingham, she talks about the life in the soil and how it works. From my experience it's very easy to understand and to use which means lots of time and money saved, Here's the link to sign up: http://soilfoodwebcourse.com/reg/?p=D...
