Also known as tobacco worms, or hookworms. Either use an insect killer like sevin dust, which I dont recommend, cause it kills the pollinators. I just look for them and cut them in half with a pair of scissors. Instant compost material. Or you can have a little bit of fun and gather about 6 or 7 of them at a time in your hand and squish them like my dad did when he was a kid. (i suggest wearing gloves because one actually tried biting me, cought me off guard because he was so fast.)
