Bougainvillea Looper

Green Thumb Sunday

JoinI have Bougainvillea Loopers. "When a bougainvillea shrub is disturbed, the caterpillars drop unobserved to the ground, leaving most people wondering what is eating their bougainvillea plants."

Here's a shot of the very tiny caterpillar along with a leaf he munched on. I just sprayed an organic fungicide & insecticide made mostly of semase oil on the plants and hope to be rid of these pests soon.
