The Very Hungry Caterpillar

For real. Munched my coleus to bits 😕

I had to look up coleus to make sure it wasn’t a human body part!!! Great shot.

Even Ren looks upset ;-)

They can certainly do some damage. Did it survive beyond the photo shoot?

[narayani]

@johnfalconer haha!

@ludwigsdiana he was very interested 🐛

@merrelyn in a container for now but it may well be fed to the fish tomorrow

[Annie-Sue]

I think he's not quite certain! Have a look on your coleus because caterpillar probably has friends!

[narayani]

@anniesue he loved it when it moved, but I didn’t manage to capture that (in focus) I think it was the only one - there wasn’t much left of the plant to check! 😩

Curious look

[Desi]

Well if the coleus is already munched you could maybe let the caterpillar go somewhere else. They do turn into moths or butterflies ...

[narayani]

@seacreature they turn into moths that lay eggs that turn into caterpillars that do a lot more munching!! Found 2 more today that had totally destroyed another plant. Voracious appetites!
