Have you ever seen a Tomato Horn Worm before? They destroy many people's gardens every year,and can eat a full grown Tomato plant down to nothing in a couple of days! And they eventually turn into a beautiful moth.
Most all the little caterpillar grubs that do damage,end up being moths. So,with good,there is always bad,or you can look at it the other way around as well

Man i should have killed it. It was all cool hiding and shit. I liked the fact that it was stealth and if i never gotten close to it i would have never seen it.

Moths and their larvae are usually very particular as to what species they feed on. There are a handful that are generalist feeders and will chew on your plants, but most will only feed on a single species, or maybe family, of plants.

I make it a point to always murder caterpillars or moths when I see them. There are at least 3 or 4 Moths/Worms that eat cannabis, let alone all the other stuff they occasionally eat. Just not worth the risk IMO.

Tiny, completely white bug on one of my bridge's growing spines. I thought it was a piece of dust, until it started crawling around. I see it may be a Woolly Aphid, so I may want to go smash it soon.
