Re: Got a bug
Patti, it's a little insignificant moth. Sometimes I use BT or sometimes SEVIN (or is it SEVEN?). Just as the leaf unfurls enough to do it drop in a little sevin dust. This shouldn't hurt your butterflies since they don't visit the leaf anyway and by the time the leaf opens all the way the dust is mostly washed off.
I do the same thing with the cannas that I grow because if the caterpillars aren't controlled on them then they're not worth growing.
Just curious, what kind of banana is it? I only had a problem with the maurelii.
