I've always had a few holes appear in the leaves of my radishes but they grow so fast I don't worry about it. The radishes are always finished forming before the bugs ruin the leaves.

Thank you Nature Lover. There are other vegetables in the garden. I was worried about this worm ruining other plants too.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge about your country--can you buy Sevin over there? That's a good general purpose spray that will take care of killing a wide range of insects that are harmful to your garden plants.

Ask your garden centre which sprays they would recommend. You could also try spraying the blighters with soapy water?
