I had lots of these on the green beans in my patch. Not one I've had a problem with before

This is a 4th stage instar unfortunately not such a cool bug to have if you were growing the Amaranth for food or flowers - but if your garden is just an excuse for having beautiful wildlife nearby then well done.

For food, but happy to have the wildlife as part well
