Creeping Charlie (Glechoma) "Inch Worms": Need Pest ID

"Inch worms" on Creeping Charlie could be several caterpillars. Insecticidal soap failing suggests wrong pest or application issue.

Need for Diagnosis

Please provide:

  • Photos (email to wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com).
  • Description: color, markings, legs (true legs + prolegs?), movement (looping?), silk/webbing.
  • Plant location: indoor/outdoor, light, watering.

Possibilities

  • Geometer moth larvae (true inchworms): Looping gait, 2 pairs prolegs.
  • Cutworms/armyworms: More legs, nocturnal.
  • Sawfly larvae: 6+ pairs prolegs, often gregarious.

Correct ID = correct treatment. Photos are fastest.
