Little caterpillars eating all my plants?

Question

They are about 1/2" long and very small like a wire.Grey, green colour. Cured up when being touched. they are all over the flower bed. Anyway i can post a picture of them? How to control them?

Answer 1

Time to spray, or use a vegetable dust on everything to kill them.

Answer 2

These sound like cutworms..do not use a dust..sevin dust (carbaryl) is one of the most toxic insecticides there is  and contributes to about 80% of our total bee population that is dying off..use this product..it's what I use..also will atach a link to my garden photo.,.I give you this information from my personal experience..not something I have heard here and there..I grow veggies 12 months out of the year..

Here is many pictures of cutworms..there are a few types of them..
