Caterpillar Identification - What do I have?

[wisconsindead]

Hey guys,

I have some really sad looking strawberry plants. They are sick, I don't know why. But due to this, they are dealing with a host of issues. I have found these worms on the plants. They have presumably been causing the bite marks on the leaves. Can anyone tell me what type of worms these are?

Oh I do not like those — they are Rose slugs

Curled rose slug larvae are metallic green above, marked with white dots, grayish white underneath, with yellow-brown heads. They curl up like a cutworm and are about 3/4" when mature. Curled rose slugs initially feed by skeletonizing the leaves, but eventually defoliate entire leaflets except for the largest veins.

Thanks so much Applestar!
