Hello Guys ... Good afternoon!!!
I honestly say that, this is the first time since I have lived photographing caterpillars, even though I often find them on every plant I plant.
Personally I am very afraid of being close to a caterpillar because when I see its elastic body I feel disgusted and scared.
But for some reason today, that feeling has disappeared and ventured to approach him, so I managed to get the picture that is seen in this post.
At first I did not want to see it but because the caterpillar was in my plants so I tried to glance at it and approach it, this happened because my favorite plants had been consumed by it.
My cataract plant has been attacked by caterpillars attached to and attached to the leaves, some leaves have run out and some are still intact, so this is what makes me dare to drive them out of my plant.
The caterpillars that occupy my plants are not many or in the population that is worrying because it is seen that only one tail that moves from one leaf to another.
But unfortunately every leaf that is passed then only the trunk is left while the leaves have been torn apart due to the bite marks.
Maybe if I leave it until tomorrow, then my cataracts flowers will remain only the stems, while the leaves and flowers will be consumed completely by the caterpillars.
In this case, I intentionally planted cataracts flowers for ornamental plants, in addition to ornamental plants, cataracts are often used as an eye cleanser for our family.
I don't know what's in this cataract flowers, but what I do know is that we often use cataracts flowers to cleanse the eyes if there are sore or dirty eyes.
And the use of cataracts flowers has been done since decades ago, and as a result our family eyes are still bright and clean without any other side effects. But you must know how to process it hygienically or as clean as possible.
I often see my mother squeezing and filtering this flower starch with a very fine filter and then filtered again using a filter cloth several times until the dust or dirt that has been lost or can be said to have been sterile.
Then the starch is mixed with clean water then deposited for a few days while waiting for the process to take place then about one week can be utilized.
Then I also do not know why this caterpillar occupies this plant as its host, in the case that there are many other ornamental plants that are in a location near this cataract.
In the case of areas near this plant there are or there are other flowers that are still fresh and green but he still chooses these plants, of course caterpillars understand that cataracts are stored or there is something extraordinary or become healthy food in the fulfillment of body protein, or in the contents of cataracts there is one thing that is good for the growth of caterpillars themselves.
But I don't know, I'm also confused about that, but what we know and believe is that cataract plants can treat diseased and dirty eyes, of course by processing them properly even in a very simple way as described above.
But in the end the caterpillars were successfully expelled, and I hope they never disturb my beloved plants. Thus the story of today, hopefully useful. Thank you very much.
