Crop-damaging creature
A vegetable pest is any organism that damages or destroys vegetable crops—insects, mites, rodents, fungi, or other creatures that feed on plants or spread disease.
The term appears in agricultural and gardening contexts: Aphids are among the most common vegetable pests.
Figuratively, a person who raids the garden might be called a vegetable pest.
