I was so surprised when I found a lot of red caterpillars under my water apple tree. This caterpillar has very unique characteristics, its size is small and long and red, this caterpillar is completely harmless to humans, it does not cause swelling and also does not cause itching but believe me this is a pest for plants. This caterpillar has a habit of making holes in fruits and nesting in them, and we can find it like in mangoes, water apples and several other fruits, because I found this caterpillar quickly under my water apple tree so I immediately panicked with the condition of the water apple fruit, maybe I should immediately take action by spraying anti-pest drugs on the tree. This caterpillar looks very beautiful visually, but this caterpillar is very destructive and I also really hate it

What's even more interesting is that this caterpillar can move very quickly, and when it walks on the ground it looks very funny, its texture is soft and it will also release a strange liquid when we touch it.
Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this caterpillar here.
