Default A new pet's damage

I found this morning that a new kind of caterpillar was eating a leaf of my
potted banana leaf.
I have never seen that this kind of caterpillar eat banana leaf.

Glad you noticed it before it ate more. I would be on the watch for others. Perhaps some neem-based spray will help repel them.
Good luck!

Yeah, me too, since my cat (who had a bowl of live grass to nibble and never bothered a plant since he got that) munched my new Ice Cream before I thought it safe to put out last spring.

Cirtainly cat is not a pest.
Awfully sorry I have misspelled "pest's" as "pet's".

In such a case we say in our country: " I want go hide myself if there is a
hole near there"

Do you undertand what I this saying means?
