Dear Ann
Thanks for your e-mail.
I
suspect this is Gooseberry Sawfly. The larvae, which look like
caterpillars strip the leaves completely. You can use a pyrethrum
based spray like Insect Killer Spray. This is a natural
poison that kills the larvae on contact. It is also safe to use on
edible plants. As soon as you see the larvae or damage, spray the
plant thoroughly. Hope this helps.
