Castor Semilooper (achaea janata) is widely distributed throughout India. Though castor is the principal host plant for them, it has also been found to be predating on tea, sugarcane, pomegranate, banana, rose, grape fruits, citrus etc. Read the full article here on this link: https://farmonaut.com/blogs/plant-issues/achaea-janata-castor-semi-looper/ #castor #semilooper #plant #achaea #tea #sugarcane #banana #rose #citrus #farming #farm #harvest #agrotech #agriculture #satellite #crophealth #farmonaut #india #fruit #vegetables #crops #agro #agritech #precisionagriculture #organicfarming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt95ffvH8OA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2m76aaihfzwq

Caterpillars have a few methods of self defense, depending on the family or species. One technique most caterpillars I find use, is regurgitation.

The caterpillar creates a ball of regurgitated foodplant from its mouth, then spits it out onto the attacker. From my knowledge, this attack is harmless to humans. It seems to be used to either startle, or disgust any predator looking for a meal.

My Mum wasn’t very happy about me turning her Euphorbia into a buffet, but sadly I don’t have the money or resources to have my own caterpillar nursery 😔

I kept a few of the caterpillars in jars, and my Mum collected the rest, and put them downstairs (where they probably went into the garden behind us LOL).

Raising caterpillars is hard, when you haven’t got the money for foodplants...
