Question
silver carpet
What could be chewing down my plants (Sliver Carpet)?
Answer
Silver carpet or Dymondia margaretae has very few known pests or disease. I would suggest getting down and dirty to checkout the plant closely and look for the culprit. If the damage is significant and the plants health is suffering you may want to look into applying an insecticide.
