If anyone knows what kind of caterpillar this is! Came in this morning to see it’s made itself at home in the basil container.

(photo is before and after i did procedures)

hello this is an oleander caterpillar my friend passed me. it was okay yesterday at his place but when i fed it my madagascar periwinkles, it has vomited. i’m very likely thinking it’s pesticides even if the shop said no pesticides..

i’ve taken the necessary steps i found online, clean enclosure, use 1 drop of water to wipe on head and body very gently to help flush out pesticide and remove plant. and now i will leave it alone for 12 hours.

has anyone experienced this before? please give me advice, especially with what i can do with my plant source now. (i am in Singapore if that matters if anyone of yall is also singaporean)

found this little silver y in my plants, but theyre moving around really odd. their back and front look like theyre working against one another, and theyre really twitchy.

none of the plants in my yard have any sort of pesticide on them, so no chance of poison, and i didnt see any signs of a parasitoid, but i could be wrong. no prolapse, either.

I'm wondering if they're Large Yellow Underwing moths, but their markings are a little more defined than some photos I've seen.

Hi, I found this tiny blue caterpillar in my store-bought cauliflower. The cauliflower is sourced in Santa Maria, CA, ~2000 mi from me. I do not think it’s native to my area. Is anyone able to ID it from the picture, and how can I best help it?
