A pest has attacked my garden

My lochita plants.

Hello dear Read Cash friend!

Today I come to tell you news about the garden.

I have a small forest of a plant called "lochita", the name we use in my country. While according to Google, it is known as centella asiatica, male cress, little coin or lochita grass.

It is a kind of grass, which spreads on the ground, in a very peculiar way. Its roots are generating new plants, like a kind of spider web under the earth.

So I just planted a small group of this species and it spread in a very beautiful and harmonious way in the garden. What I really liked, because it gives that nice green background to both the place and my photographs.

Bites on my lochitas plant.

However, I am observing that something strange is happening with them. Some have bites, others have disappeared leaving only the stem.

The criminals that stalk my garden: Green worms.

So, I set out to carefully observe my lochitas plant. I found green worms, big, fat and terribly green.

They have taken over my entire garden, mercilessly.

So now I remove them manually, because I can't use chemicals because my baby turtles live there, and my cats walk around looking for small animals.

Even the plague continues, I have not been able to eradicate it. I hope soon to end this problem in my garden.

Thank you for reading!
