This is a green caterpillar that I found in front of my house, this caterpillar has a very soft body texture and does not have a single hair, and that is a question mark whether this caterpillar can cause itching or not, but the presence of this caterpillar should not be underestimated because this caterpillar is a serious pest for farmers, usually this caterpillar is often on young plants such as on chili and tomato plants and its job is to eat leaves and small twigs, this caterpillar also has a large appetite so it can eat several leaves in a day which will cause the plants to become diseased. I myself really hate this caterpillar because of its destructive nature, but behind all that, this caterpillar has very unique characteristics, it has a green color and there are several white spots all over its body, if we look at it at a glance, we will think that on the head of this caterpillar there is a horn on its head, but believe me the horn is not on the head but on its butt, this caterpillar can move quite slowly but stores various damages.

Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this green caterpillar here.
