Hi, ka-Hivers welcome to my blog!

Does your lemonsito tree was attacked by some caterpillars, aphids or an egg and ants?

I marcotted 2 lemonsito trees which I showed in my introduction blog, since I do only not love animals but planting as well. I was so happy when I had successfully marcotted the lemonsito and when I planted them they grew more branches and leaves.

I was checking my lemonsito tree to see if they are bearing already. But, I saw that there are caterpillars. It wasn't the first time my lemonsito tree was attacked by them. So, what I did was I got them all away from my lemonsito.

I have to get them because they are preventing my lemonsito to grow. The first lemonsito which was always attacked by a caterpillar, grows slowly. The second lemonsito tree is already tall with aphids/eggs and ants. Google says it's an ants egg but mama said it could be an aphids.

I am scared of worms but for the sake of my lemonsito tree, I have to be brave.


This was the first two caterpillars I got. I thought these two only were the attackers but I didn't know they were feasting my lemonsito.

Then I saw this one I was shocked because I almost touched it!

When I went to the other side to look for more I saw this another caterpillar.

I thought I got all the caterpillars but then I saw the last caterpillar hiding between the two leaves.

As much as I want to keep them alive, my Nanay just fed them to the roosters. She said it would just harm other plants if I let them live.


The other marcotted lemonsito tree was attacked by some aphids or maybe an egg of the ants? and a lot of ants too. But, it's growing tall and healthy.

These are the baby lemonsito from my lemonsito tree that was attacked by aphids or was it an egg of an ants there are a lot of ants in this lemonsito tree while the other lemonsito tree doesn't have any. But it's bearing fruit lesser than the other.

My lemonsito tree that was attacked by the caterpillars is bearing fruit already but it still too tiny and I hope it will grow big.

What a poor lemonsito. There's really this time of the year when plants get attacked by these insects.

I feel sad about what happened to your lemonsito plant Ma'am @leetalks I also experienced the same problem before with my lemonsito plant

I hope your lemonsito tree will grow bigger and would produce abundant fruits, Shane.
