Default Re: leaf damage

I'm guessing that some small caterpillar or tiny beetle may cause this to happen. I've seen something simialar on my cannas, though not so much on my bananas. I haven't had any leafroller damage all year until the return of the rains (finally!) about two weeks ago. The leafroller damage began showing up yesterday. They could be the culprit. Do you guys ever notice any leaves stitched together with silk? If not, it's probably some other type of caterpillar.
