I found this creature in an AV I got from Lowe's. It lays tiny little boba textured purple balls all over. What is this??? How do I treat my plant/collection if that is even needed.
That’s a caterpillar and the “boba” is poop, looks like yellow striped amyworm based on some quick googling. You don’t need to treat your plants besides removing the caterpillar from this one. If google led me to the right ID, it’s considered a pest because they can cause a lot of crop damage and stuff so you should probably do something like flushing it down the toilet instead of relocating it outside.
