Please help. This worm has eggs and baby worms on the leaves of my hibiscus and the leaves are leaving it's green and turning yellow on the sides. In addition to this, my night jamine plant has holes in its leaves. What should I do?

The plant are kept open in the balcony and get 2-3 hours of sunlight when the sun shines. These days it's rainy.

    [mushrooms](https://planethouseplant.com/why-are-there-mushrooms-growing-on-my-house-plant/) – mushrooms in houseplant soil are harmless to your plant. Because of their life cycle, they may seem to appear overnight. They appear because the conditions were right – usually warm, dark, humid, and moist soil.

    Caterpillar of the tiger moth. The eggs you see are likely other eggs laid by the moths, not the eggs of the caterpillars themselves. You can use something like neem oil or Bt spray to get rid of them.

    Edit: if you are referring to the black specks on the leaves as eggs, they are not. That is caterpillar poop.
