QUI EN EST LA CAUSE ?
The worm, scientifically known as Chrysodeixis chalcites, is a common pest that affects geranium and other garden plants. This insect belongs to the Noctuidae family and is characterized by its green color and voracious eating habit. It feeds on the young leaves of the geranium, leaving characteristic holes in them and causing significant damage to the plant if the infestation is severe.

Recommandations
To prevent maggot infestation in geranium, it is recommended to perform regular plant inspections for signs of larvae or leaf damage. Additionally, organic mulch can be used around plants to discourage egg laying and promote the presence of natural predators of the worm. As for control, specific insecticides can be applied to control moth larvae, such as the geranium worm.
