Little caterpillars like that can destroy your whole plant within a couple days. Check under all the leaves for more. And on the stems. They can hide pretty good so look carefully. Pick them off and toss them far away. Or kill them. But I abide by pick and flick. You can apply a pesticide or clear them off by hand.
@AlliesTerrarium dog they lay any eggs? Wondering if I should be worried about any hatching in the future even if I pick all the ones I find off.
@SproutMama they grow up to be moths and they sometimes lay eggs on the underside of leaves. So if you see anything unusual when inspecting - my go-to move is to pluck off the leaf in case it’s eggs.
