My goldenberry (and they are starting on some young comfrey) plants are being eaten up at an alarming rate by these slimy slug/caterpillars with goopy stuff all over them? I\'m not sure of the goopy stuff on top is part of the creature or not. I\'m in Burbank, CA ( so inland, but not too far)

What are they? What should I do to save my plants? I have some sluggo plus that I spread about two weeks ago. I can re-apply if it will help. Neem? Soap?


Thanks!!!
