This morning, looking at my roses, I noticed a clump of leaves which, in addition to being eaten, looked strange.

I looked closely and the eye landed on a small black spot on the branch which was only a small hole as I could see by cutting in half the branch by finding a nice surprise

Two white worm that had already dug a long gallery and swung lazily set to light.

I went to check out the other plants and in another I noticed a similar black dot and sharpening my view I noticed something protruding. I first thought about the Exuvia of some chrysalis but then I saw that it was moving and it was the same white worm.
I could not take the picture because the branch was between the leaves and began to flow.
