Gardening Forum : Would You Please Identify This Cute Crawling Critter?

in #gardening7 years ago (edited)

Okay, I wrote back then that it was the last of them critters I'd post for this month but I went gardening with my husband and he took the ride back home quietly with us. Sneaky beast! I mean cute lil' creeping ball courgette flower feeder. To get a better understanding - please click on the video.

Do you happen to know what it is? The zucchinis have had their time so does the ball courgette so we let some of them go and just took any flower and fruit we could salvage without knowing nor thinking creeping crawlers like this would still be in them. Till we get to go back to the garden (which is probably a week later because we already took a week harvest), I won't be able to bring this guy back. My worry is, I only have one ball courgette flower and at the speed rate of this chewing galore am not sure this only food source would last.

If you happen to know what this is would you also please tell me whether it could also eat the fruit itself just in case the whole ball courgette flower gets totally eaten up?

This content's 100% mine. Disclaimer : No lil' green creature on those videos was harmed nor hurt in making this post.

@gardenlady says it could be a moth
but I'd let it rest hahaha ..

I got me a new pet in the house :D
abientot!

Hi @englishtchrivy
It comes from another planet, everyone sees it belongs in a science fiction movie
take care of what you bring in

hahaha don't worry am from Venus :D
hahaha so no problem ..
he can't crawl out I put a plastic cover with holes in it so it could breathe ..
am off to bed .. sleep tight if it happens to be almost midnight out there too

hehe So good that you have taken your security measures

maybe a cabbage looper? They eat the foliage.

oh .. where have you been?
I missed having you around?
everything okay?

i don't know but since you said so I and knowing you're the one who often gave me the right answers on all of my gardening forum post - it must be
so then, I have am harboring a future moth?

yes, just a moth. If it were going to be a beautiful butterfly, I might let it go ahead and eat!

For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been away on a bunch of weekends and otherwise pre-occupied I guess. I was checking in briefly but only enough to give a few upvotes here and there.
But thanks for missing me :0) All is well.

I see.. I'll let it live .. I don't think I'd be able to go back in the vege garden any sooner so I'd let him eat all he can .. he'll do my ever bearing strawberries good in winter ^ ^

am glad you're okay
I haven't done gardening posts for a while too so I haven't crossed your path at all I suppose
am glad to see you around!

Oh yeah, it's a real beast :) I think it's a caterpillar cabbage, but maybe I'm wrong :) Thanks @englishtchrivy

I don't know either but I guess the one I entered for one of papa-pepper's photo contests were the cabbage caterpillar - thanks for giving it a try

Could this be a Hyena critter? Not 100% sure though

lol - it's your fang less cousin? (kiddin)

Thanks for giving the chance to enjoy this beautiful news!!

ah so you adopted one finally.😎

I had no choice he was took the ride with us I can't send him out in the cold with nothing to eat. I was planning to put that flower in the smoothie ... imagine that I didn't see him .. eeeeekkkk !!!

well, he made me a post heh? :D

Yay.. good lady. make sure you feed the little guy.

I didn't have much trouble doing that but he won't take a bite anymore :(
