I have been growing plants and vegetables for a long time now. I always get lots of snails and will catch them at night especially after rain. Snails are big eaters and destroys my orchids and other plants. Recently, I managed to grow rice and discover some grasshoppers. Since then, there are lots of holes on my brinjal plant. I thought it might be caterpillars but could not find any.
Yesterday, as I was getting rid of tiny white flies in the sweet potato leaves, something jumps out. On closer look I saw a tiny grasshopper in the leaf. Then I saw another grasshopper on the brinjal leaves. So I found the answer to all the holes in the leaves. It was the grasshoppers.
I killed 2 or 3 by squashing them. This morning, more grasshoppers. It is going to be a challenge to keep my plants from eaten up.
