I'm new to hostas and have one little plant in a pot that has been doing really well until recently when something started eating the leaves. Are there certain pests that like to eat hostas that I should look for? I didn't see anything but I do have problems with catydids that will eat everything and anything.

I believe the name of my hosta is 'Blue Ripples'. I would upload a pic, but it's not working for me this morning. I'll try to get one up soon.

Thanks for any help.

Slugs, snails, earwigs, grasshoppers, rabbits, deer...I guess we're not the only thing that love hosta!

Thank you for your Reply, Rose. So hostas are popular!

I added some photos. I didn't see anything around so maybe it is grasshoppers or katydids!

That damage is so large that it may be cutworms.

Hmm. Hi Ann, that could be too because I did see a cutworm on the ground in another part of the garden this morning. The chickens thought it was delish!

Thank You!

I hope you have enough chickens to take care of them. I've only had cutworm damage one year, but it was quite extensive on some plants.
