WHO CAUSES IT?
Worms and caterpillars are larvae of various insect species, such as butterflies and moths, that can become destructive pests in cannabis crops. These insects have strong jaws that allow them to feed on the leaves, stems and flowers of plants, causing significant damage if not properly controlled. They are particularly problematic during the vegetative growth and flowering stages of the plant, as they can weaken the plant and reduce its yield.
