I have been inspecting my Hibiscus ever since I caught this guy red handed. Then I spotted another chewed flower bud but the perp was nowhere in sight.
Some days later, I spotted this little guy.
Drat!
It happily posed for me.
Looking at me with its beady eyes. I attempted to catch it but it was too quick for me.
This is not the only pest in my garden. There is another that attacked my lovely spider flower.
Can you see it? The white worm with a black head.
And while weeding, I found another one that loves my Hibiscus.
Can you see it?
You can also see its poop. Ugh! I must find natural ways to protect my flowers as I do not want to use chemicals.
Hi PH lama tak mai ke sini..
ReplyDeleteBest tengok bila tanaman kita segar bugar...tapi itulah dugaan bila ada seranggan perosak yang berkenan dengan tanaman kita..kena bendung tu kang abes lingkup semua dikerjakannya...Macam pokok kari kari abes kena serangan benda apa ntah warna hitam2 bahagian bawah daun...saya spray dengan minyak msk+1 titik sunlight (sabun basuh pinggan tu)dan isi air penuh2 dalam botol spray...haaa..mati semua sebab sesak napas...sekarang ni masih subur pkk kari saya tu..untuk kes ni xtaulah sesuai ke tak kaedah yang saya guna tu
Hi Lina! OK, nak try petua Lina. Semoga berkesan. Sakit hati bila tengok bunga yang cantik diserang oleh perosak. Ya, PH punya daun kari pun pernah kena benda2 hitam tu.
DeleteSo much action that you captured in your garden PH. Hehe
ReplyDeletehah..hah... macam National Geographic.
DeletePest! A nuisance in the garden.
ReplyDeleteHope your hibiscus survive and bloom well.
I need to try a remedy to discourage these pests from attacking my plants.
DeleteThe white worm with the black head stared straight at you...wuahahahaha! :D Yikes, you dare catch that grasshopper with your bare hands? Very hebat lah you! O_o
ReplyDeletehah..hah... No lah, I put a plastic bag over my hand. I dare not touch with my bare hand, I'm quite the coward.
Deletewah so many visitors to your garden you spotted today. Good that you want to use safe ways to protect your garden.
ReplyDeleteSince I have edible herbs in my garden, I should not use pesticides.
Deleteah, tht lil' guy is so cute...despite its nasty 'attack' on ur hibiscus!
ReplyDeleteYup, I have to admit it is cute.
DeleteThey camouflage themselves so well that I had to look twice to find them
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to spot it on my plant.
DeleteMy giant hibiscus is doing well but I see a lot of little red ants around the blooms in the early morning.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the don't destroy the flowers it is fine.
DeleteOh goodness, that grasshopper is almost cartoon-like and it truly looks as if it is posing just for your camera.
ReplyDeleteIt looked rather cute.
DeleteHaha... The grasshopper...
ReplyDeletehah..hah... not scared of me.
DeleteI have to say that the grasshopper is rather cute! It could be saying "Thank you, for the yummy meals!" Lol! These pests can do much damage to our plants.
ReplyDeletehah..hah... heartache seeing my flowers eaten :(
Deleteyour garden is a thriving ecosystem of many interesting species! :)
ReplyDeleteThe eyes of the grasshopper, OMG, so "fake"! My first time seeing its eyes!
