I noted little holes in my veggies and "frass" on the exterior and when I cut into them I was horrified to see green caterpillars inside and worse, those critters devoured good portions of the interiors. Local nurseryman identified them as pickleworms and said there was much I could do but recommended I try NEEM. Sorry about your infestation over there on the Big Island. Aloha,
