these critters destroyed a huge bouganvillea we had in the back yard. I will post a pic later but the damage was extensive.... I saw the poop droppings on the ground and since it is a large bush, did not really look up til it was too late. It will recover but looks terrible right now.

I have never heard of these caterpillars eating bougainvillea so I would be surprised if it was the them? Any chance you have a picture of the offending caterpillars?

Several insects will eat bougainvillea leaves, especially the caterpillars of the Bougainvillea Looper. Scalloping of the leaf edges and irregular leaf damage are signs of insect attack.




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
