Leek Moth

This small brown Leek Moth lays its eggs on the base of the leek plants during mid and late spring.  The emerging pale green caterpillars tunnel through the leaves, which are disfigured with white streaks.  As more and more tunnels are made, the leeks loose their strength and my collapse and die.
