This is a young larvae "Zeuzera Pyrina" a wood eating critter. This bastard often attacks my apple tree, is potentially dangerous for the main stem but it never attacked weed, until now.

Well every now and then I find one in compost myself. Never really looked into it but it seems as a wood eating bug. I worry more about nematodes than these here.

Well, the only beneficials I can think of are ladybugs 🐞 and lacewigs - and that is definitely not one of those two thinks.
It’s looks more like a meal worm- we used to use them for fishing bait.

Bug control info needed for outdoorsCould you please suggest some safe bug killer powders or solutions for Cannabis plants growing outdoors. I have not found the bugs that are making little round holes in the leaves. No aphids or spider mites visible. I live on east coast of Canada, if that information is helpful.Week 8

Aphid problem!So I just ran into a few aphids, there isn’t very many, but I need an “all natural remedy” (no chemicals) for aphids. I’m hoping something strong enough to destroy most or all of them! HELP!
I want to “nip it in the bud”, before it gets worst! Thanks!Other. Bugs

Are ANTS a problem?There are more than some ants walking around under and sometimes also over my plants. Also there are small holes in the ground so definitely there is a nest under my babies? Do I have to worry? Are ants a problem for cannabis plants?

Anyone knows if these bugs are doing any harm to the plant?I have not seen this type of bugs in my garden before and they are only on the two CBG Autos. Also some ants are active across the plant.
Does anyone know if these bugs are harming the plants or what they are? 😏
