# New rookie gardener here- I found this in the soil of my rosemary…

_Posted by Katherine on 2024-05-06_

New rookie gardener here- I found this in the soil of my rosemary box. Should I be concerned? (It rained today)

Also I’ve been seeing some small holes appear in my basil, any suggestions on what to do there?!

It looks like a caterpillar. Caterpillars love to eat leaves, plenty of leaves. Just remove them.

It’s very good for the environment I would pay the premium on this app very good for the soil if there is a lot talk to a gardener about it.
