| It's a caterpillar. Harmful as in stinging or harmful as in eating your plant? Best to hand pick the ones you see and keep an eye out for more. If you want to use an organic control consider Bacillus thuringiensis. It is a bacteria that affects only caterpillars and it is harmless to humans. Dipel is the dust form and Thuricide is the liquid form.  | ||
