Impale the body of the fallen on toothpicks to serve as a warning! (You're outdoors, there's really not much you can do that won't affect the plant as well. Infest it with good bugs like ladybugs, but that won't stop caterpillars).

Identify bug / larva
Any idea the bug / larva? Reapplied insecticide soap. Might need to change plans if she starts flower before they're dealt with. For additional reference see diary, and also I have tomatoes and peppers in the same "garden". Pics are at 60x magnification - first 2 on plant.

creepy crawlies
I got creepy crawlies. Clipped the entire leaf, mixed abt 3 drops of neem oil in 100-150ml tap water and sprayed the f*ck out of it. Then I checked the rest of my plants, found nothing but decided to spray them anyway. When should I re-apply? Any adverse effects of neem oil?

Centipedes? Good or bad? I’ve just spotted and lost one roaming the tent, I’ve heard they can be good as they don’t feed off the plant and can help with gnats thrips etc. What do you guys think? Anyone have any experience with this? Many thanks!

Fungus gnats damage?
A week ago i started noticing fungus gnats on the plant, already working on them. Today i noticed a lot more dark pistils over the plant since yesterday, could it be correlated to the gnats? also noticed that smaller leaves don't grow since a week or so, is it also correlated?
