I regularly get these catepillar (Daphnis nerii) on my plant, usually i will only find out after they sapu 20~30% of my plant... heart pain.

Anyway, is there something i can spray etc to make sure they dont come?

Spray methamidophos insecticide. Available (under various trade names) at agricultural supply shops

My garden don't have all this pest.....I think. Incidentally I just told my other half, my garden is green but no life. Coz all life died cos use pesticide.

net your plant so butterflies cannot lay eggs

What bird eat caterpillar ha? Crow got eat ka?

Ya this thing is a nuisance. My pokok limau also botak because of them. So does my adenium.

And yes, no bird will eat this bugger. I guess your best option is pesticide.

So cute little thing

long ago, my makcik got those Adenium macam bonsai punya, petang2 she will duduk and kepit the caterpillar (big fat juicy ones) one by one in a bucket then buang into the pond when done

Why every day will have big caterpillar? Grow so fast?

soap water spray. simple.

But this bugger really grow damn fast. Fat juicy. And it's not butterfly.

idk sia, selang 2-3day will go 'pluck' them from the plants and if you don't pluck for too long, very fast the plant botak kena makan

Spray sanitizer

That is a hawk moth caterpillar. Eventually it will turn into Hawk Moth.



My house desert rose plant always get attacked by these. But i let them be. Because they are also natural pollinators like butterflies.

check and remove manually or use Bacillus thuringiensis no need toxic

Not viable, look dumb.

Soap water works? Recently raining very often, need to respray everyday?

Cannot afford to leave them alone, sometimes can pluck 6~9 of them, those are enuf to sapu botak the entire plant easily, they FAT and eat damn alot.

Ini toxic tak boss? THe plant is overhanging my pond, rather not have toxic stuff accidentally spill in...

yes it is toxic.
