Nesa,
Here are some pictures for you to compare your little critter to
http://www.surecrop.com/Insects/vegetable.htm
Remember these pictures are American pests, so you may not find your
critter here. I would recommend you go to the library and get a bug
book, as I imagine you have some insects we don't have here.
(Especially here in Michigan). If nothing else, (if they are big
enough) you can find some little boys to pick them off and squash them
for you - here we would pay maybe 5 or 10 cents for each bug/worm
caught.
