Nothing else in the flower bed is bothered except for these ferns. Every one in a big flower bed is destroyed. Most only have the stem left, all green is gone. This is the last of the plants with any green. I have only seen one bug on them and this is a BAD picture of it.
What is eating my Sensitive Fern
i'd venture to say that you have either an army worm or a caterpillar or a budworm on there somewhere. i had one a plant that was being eaten but couldn't find a thing. i went out at night with a flashlight and there it was...one lone green worm/cat chomping away. i grabbed it with a tongs and smashed it and haven't had a problem since.
if you can't find anything at night, i would suggest a spray of Bt or something with Spinosad in it....both are organic and will kill the culprit if it's a cat of some kind. if it's a worm, you have to use the Spinosad.
Thank you, I'll check it out tonight!
report back! lol
