- A variety of minor insects will be found occasionally
- HAWK MOTH caterpillars are colourful but are usually in low numbers and rarely require control.
- HELIOTHIS CATERPILLARS occur in high numbers in some seasons. They feed on young leaves and sometimes also immature bunches.
- RUTHERGLEN BUGS have a narrow, grey-brown body and silvery wings. They move quickly, often in swarms, but are rarely damaging.
- COON BUGS are similar to Rutherglen bugs but the coon bug adult is marked with black and white patches. Nymphs are wingless with bright red abdomens.
