Most of our shrubs which ought to be full of flowers post monsoon are now home for scores of larvae.
We sprayed some plants to protect them from a similar end, but of no use!
They have adapted to cope!
Our gardener says, the plants would revive. But my concern is that it happens twice a year!
A visitor who came to visit us two weeks back, spotted some colourful butterflies which according to him are commonly seen in the western ghats. He is a nature enthusiast!
It is difficult to view them as pests... we console ourselves by saying that they are butterflies in formation!
