I Hope You Are Not Having Your Breakfast Now

Or lunch or dinner while reading this. That's because I want to talk about poop. Caterpillar poop. Look what I found one morning. Nestled on my Adenium leaf were one, two, three, four droppings. Eeeuwww!!!

If you notice, the droppings are not smooth like balls, rather they have patterned ridges. I wonder how that happens. It made me think of those cake icing piping tips that can make shapes and such. Opps... Sorry.

I proceeded to look for the perpetrator. Can you see it?

It's right under the leaf above where it deposited its droppings. It was so well camouflaged that it took me awhile to find it (even though I figured it must be above the poop, my eyesight is getting worse).

I can't leave it to feast on the leaves. This little critter is capable of demolishing a whole plant.

So I removed the leaf and caterpillar and placed it outside my garden. Bye bye!
