i have a bug cutting semi circular sections out of 'leaves' and dropping small balls of khaki coloured excrement. It also has a go at overwintering geraniums. All in my conservatory. Any ideas and how to deal with it? I already  use nematodes for vone weevil.

    Could it be a caterpillar of some sort.

    I had something similar happen on a crassula,eventually found a green caterpillar burrowing its way down the centre!

    It's probably caterpillars, usually green ones on geraniums so you can't see themimage

    I don't think it is caterpillars. Any other ideas?
