Below is a note for a common predator that will "go and find/lay eggs next to"your TEXAS pest".



The Ladybug Treatment - The ladybug's diet consists mainly of garden pests. What you can do is, release an array of ladybugs on your garden. They will zero in on the caterpillars, taking them out of the infected leaves.

Looks a lot like my cucumber pickle worms. BT isn't that effective.

I say Spinosad would help.
