Hello everyone. This a leaf from my giant plum ginger plant each leave is about 2 foot plus long. I went out today to water it and I saw these very weird, insect?, Damage to my plan being a plan owner I’ve seen all sorts of pest damage and I’ve done my best to protect my plants from it. This is really weird looking in that it is in a straight line and the same type of damage. Does anybody know what kind of insect could do this? I have never seen anything like this before. @4eva @AdonicKohleria2 @applepie @BabeVila @BuffCaperspurge @CutePolypremum @DanDenMan #PlantsMakePeopleHappy @DreamMachine @FunBoglaurel81 @HFplantoasis @HummingbirdMint @Idplantthat @Jadedbelle @Jujube @Luckeecharm1 @maci.in.bloom @ModestCoconut13 @Ms.Persnickety @newplantgirlies @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @QuickKalopanax @sarah10orio @Shells_Garden @SillyPlantGirl @SizableSuncup20 @smushface @stephongreg @TopCoriander6 @BuffGrapeivy67 @ILoveMyPlants @DearOrchid79 @debbiedo @somewhatsara @SolaceInSunshine @RefinedSandwort @Ponytailmom @MusicalRedmint

Hi dear Bob...
I think you have been blessed with Aliens leaving a special message that translates : "Hi Bob! We are enamored of this specimen and have taken some small samples back to our home. Thank you."

@CutePolypremum , 🤔😂
@CutePolypremum , it’s so weirdly consistent. Three separate rows of damage in a straight line and three separate shapes one for each row and the damage is only on that leaf none of the others.
@Idplantthat , yes, I am in West Central Florida
@FunBoglaurel81 , the pattern consistency is the weirdest thing about it I think.
@CutePolypremum 🤣🤣👽
Wow! That plant looks beautiful ❤️ but the holes in the leaf are soo cool! Either it's an insect that knows what it's doing, a human, or an alien ( according to @CuyePolypremum, which I believe too), lol
@izzyandsugar , I never knew of any insect that could do that. I live in a very rural and remote area and this plant sits about 400 feet from the road on my property which is fenced. That only leaves one thing. 👽👽👺🤖🤡
@Malagueña it looks like the damage happened while the leaf was still unfurling, causing it to punch all the way through in this weird pattern.
@Malagueña @CutePolypremum @izzyandsugar this looks like mechanical damage, not an insect, but possibly still aliens 👽😅 It was probably injured/poked while the leaf was still rolled up, causing this pattern when it unfurled.
@DreamMachine , that could be the answer. The damage is only on that leaf.

Hey kids!
Bummer...
I was really hoping that our Alien friends paid a visit.
But, I figure that they're too intelligent to come to our planet... 😆 🤣

@CutePolypremum , absolutely. They got samples of my leaf 🍃 . I guess that was enough. 🤪🤔
@CutePolypremum I mean, it still totally COULD have been aliens that caused the injury 🤷♀️ Plausible deniability! 😁
@Malagueña, if you get figured out, let us know; I’m so curious what makes those kinds of holes that almost match up perfectly. 🤯
I agree with @stephongreg and @DreamMachine that it looks like mechanical damage that happened before it unfurled. But who can dash Joanie’s hopes of a friendly alien invasion? Certainly not me! @CutePolypremum
