I have looked day and night but have never seen the culprits. Any ideas what I should look for? BTW these are concord grapes.

Do these leaves have everyone baffled?

I'm guessing no one here is very familiar with the insects of West Africa - if it were here in the US, I would suspect certain moth larvae, but I have no idea what it could be in Ghana.

Hi claypa, what kind of moth would that be?
