Hi,

i have discovered some of my onions have a sticky black deposit on some leaves but unerneath seems a small Caterpillar type of insect.Does anyone know what this is and does the usual multi insect spay work on these? 

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Many thanks.  Found 2 of them near the onions but did not realise what they were.

    I also found this beetle on one of the contaminated onions and thought it may be the problem.  Perhaps you know what this is.

     

    Cheers,
