What grubs eat foxgloves?

Grubs that commonly feed on foxgloves include the larvae of certain moths and beetles, such as the foxglove pug moth and the larvae of the leaf-miner fly. These pests can damage the plant by feeding on its leaves, stems, or roots, potentially leading to stunted growth or reduced flowering.
