What color are these moth worms? I had a lot of wormy pods from my SDBs and
sometimes the worm was still in the pod. One time the worm was emerging from
a seed just like a worm hanging out of an apple! It was so funny but I
forgot to take its picture. These worms here are bright green.
Cheers, Barb
