| Hi Everyone - This is my first post, so bare with me. I was picking lemons today from our Meyer Lemon tree. One of the lemons had a hole in the side of the fruit with a bit of the rind eaten away around the hole. I squeezed the lemon and out came a green segmented little worm/caterpillar like thing. It was skinny and about an inch long. It was a light green and had about 14 sets of paired legs. The head was dark, perhaps brownish or maybe just a little red. It isn't furry, just smooth green.
I did an internet search and couldn't find any suggestions for "green thing eating into my lemons." I'd love if anyone could identify and even better, offer an organic treatment. Thanks! |
