We made an important discovery today

*My healthy little lochitas, photo taken today* **Hello dear Read Cash friend!** As you may have seen earlier in my post, caterpillars have attacked my mini-loach garden. It took me a lot to eradicate this pest, however, one day they simply disappeared, and my lochitas returned to being full and shiny leaves.

*At first I thought they had made all this mess my little turtles* Having discovered Google Images, I decided to investigate about it. He wanted to know that he had attacked my garden and then suddenly left.

*My search on Google Images* It has been a **cabbage worm**, known as **Pieris rapae.** It usually appears in cabbage and lettuce plantations, so as the lochitas are similar plants, it has also taken over them.

*The miscreants who attacked my garden were green leaf* They are very colorful green worms, and are easily confused with their surroundings. Like the cookie butterflies, they use camouflage. Which made it difficult to remove them from the loach leaves.

*A picture of my garden after the great devastation* They devour the leaves very quickly, which is worrisome in plantations. After that, at the end of its larval stage it transforms into a beautiful and delicate butterfly. I love these winged insects, but, it is a concern for me to have them as pests. I hope I can control them if they look like again. Thank you for reading!
