It looks pretty... But it's also pretty nasty. It ate all the leaves of my lovely and lush green spider caladium. From once bushy leaves, now all that's left are stalks. These caterpillars come in many colors too, which makes me think if their colors reflect the colors of the leaves that they eat? I've seen a caterpillar with similar markings but it was all green, varying shades of green. It had just eaten a pot of caladium that was mostly green. This one ate my green spider caladium whose leaves are predominantly pink/reddish-orange. Maybe that could be why this caterpillar also has a pretty color.🐛🌿 Oh well... I know my plant will grow more leaves again, but it'll take a while. Plus, this is the second pot. This caterpillar has two casualties already. So what I did was transfer it to the other side of the fence where it'll get its fill of food. But, from what I observed, caterpillars also have food preferences, much like the tiny grasshoppers in my yard too that have eaten all of my turtle vine plant but ignored my caladium and red ripple. As for these caterpillars, they seem to love caladiums. Snails, on the other hand, like to munch on my succulents but they also tend to ignore my caladiums. I guess my garden is their restaurant. 😁☺️ #LovelyAnimals
