Ellie Kennard<p>Can someone please help me identify this tiny worm in my garden? It's like a piece of hair and it moves in a twisting motion. I think it's eating some of my plants, but I can't find out what it is. Anyone? At first I thought it was a hair, that's how thin it is.<br>It is in a bed where I have sown some red mustard plants which do seem to be chomped on. But maybe they're not the culprits. They look too tiny to cause much damage. If it's them, will diatomaceous earth control them?</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipping.rocks/@colinpurrington" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>colinpurrington</span></a></span> is this something you recognize?</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/EllieKPosts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EllieKPosts</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ID</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/worm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>worm</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediHelp</span></a></p>
