I'm finding 1/2 " long, relatively thick, light green worms/caterpillars eating my hibiscus flower buds. Any thoughts? If they'll turn into beautiful butterflies, I'll leave them. Otherwise will handpick. Thanks. Sorry don't have photo.

Try googling pics of hibiscus sawfly larvae. They're very common here on hollyhocks and hibiscus. But I always see them on leaves, not buds. Worth a look, anyway.
