These sweetcorn are being attacked........there in a mini greenhouse, (left open) on a wire mesh shelf, no trace of slugs

Any ideas what little critters?

Cheers

No.........I checked for that, these "corns" are on the 3rd shelf up (top)....I gotta coupla trays with some younger corn in, lower down, and they have not been touched!

Shall have to keep a 24 hour watch................yeah, I reckon!

(I will put some slug pellets down though.......just in case)
