I want to say that this is a very scary caterpillar, I am very afraid of it. This caterpillar has a fairly large size and is also quite long, the main color is green and there are also some white spots on its back, but let's look at this caterpillar from a closer distance. It can be seen that this caterpillar has two large eyes, and looks very scary because it has a very sharp set, but believe me that it is a fake eye that functions as a self-defense mechanism to scare or trick predators. This caterpillar is also a serious pest that must be removed immediately because it can eat leaves very quickly, and usually we can find this caterpillar on young green plants.

I managed to find this caterpillar on an ornamental plant in front of my house, and this became a concern for me, so I immediately checked all my plants. Luckily, I only found one caterpillar.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this caterpillar here.
