Caterpillars on varietal hibiscus

Community and ForumInsects breedingCaterpillars on varietal hibiscus

Please give me some advice!
On the beautiful varietal American hibiscus trees that stood in the summer on the street, a whole squad of green caterpillars was bred. It doesn't make sense to take photos. They are 5 mm each. in length, light green, transparent, without identifying features.
Who could settle on hibiscus trees?
It's a pity to push. Leave it - they'll eat the plants.
If released into the garden, what kind of plant might suit them?

Wow, that's interesting.
You still try to raise a couple of caterpillars.They won't eat much.We have a lot of hibiscus,but no one eats it.Therefore, I am very interested in who can eat such an exotic in Moscow

You've had hibiscus for a long time. Just wondering if the eggs came with it confused.gif

sawflies of some sort, judging by the description... it would be better to take a look at the photo.

Oh, I have this year sawflies on dwarf ornamental pines wound up. while noticed, several branches as a cow tongue licked frown.gif
but the sawflies seem to cluster, and these roam all over the plant

It would be desirable to count the head or legs, small sawflies usually pile up, it seems to me that these are different, somehow they are not characteristically located on the leaf. Perhaps they will fit the ones that I have on radish and mustard all ate: small, if disturbed, go down the thread to the bottom. On the ground, in case of danger, they begin to wriggle quickly. On the sheets, they can quickly crawl back and forth.?

Basically, it looks like this:

But still, a couple of withdrawals would be nice )

They go down the thread, wriggle, but crawl only headfirst. If disturbed, they crawl quickly, folding the body strongly.

Theoretically similar to the young caterpillars from the pictures. Then some pretty boy grows up there. I don't think there are any in M. O. )
My head is still the same color as the body.
And then, where does the hibiscus sawfly come from in the Moscow Region, if even the Syrian hibiscus is exotic and winters with a big stretch? :-)
About to withdraw, sorry far away, otherwise I could share )))

I'll be in Moscow soon.I'm just thinking-should I bring the hibiscus or take the goslings?And then I have after Moscow ekpeditsiya

Are they really that interesting?
I'll see tomorrow if they all eat hibiscus, or if they chose the most delicious one )

young leaves burst on ordinary hibiscus
and, surprisingly, it was found that caterpillars of different sizes roam there.
does it depend on how well they eat, or are they babies of different clutches?

02.09.2010 17:52, Arikain

Maybe as I had, the photos are similar, but I remembered the moths were displayed. Small, the caterpillars are larger and did not grow up, about 0. 5-0. 7 cm. I'll post a photo if I find it, but I probably don't have one.

21.10.2010 17:21, Natali22206

If anyone is interested, I can say that the caterpillars have grown. 50-60 pieces in early childhood migrated to the garden, but 2-3 ran around the hibiscus trees and poked holes in the leaves. )
I'll look for a picture of a grown caterpillar and post it.
But now they're gone. Could they have already pupated?
