What Is Eating My Leaves And How Do I Kill It?

ermentrude · June 5, 2017

There is no better way to describe what this thing looks like than a tiny tadpole or giant sperm with a green stripe body and black head all covered in some white foam. I feel like I can feel them crawling all over me while I write. There were hundreds of them eating holes on one leaf. They had been to other leaves also, but were only on the one once I got there. I pulled the affected leaves off of the one plant and sprayed that leaf, and all 16 of my plants with soap / pepper combination.

I tried to Google what it could possibly be but am not describing it well enough. Please help - what is it and will the soap help or do I need to go stronger?
