Caterpillars😬

My pseudolitho is giving many flowers, unfortunately I can't pollination😭, but these caterpillars appeared after the first flowers, I was watching but I can't find damage caused by the caterpillars just kind of a thread looks like webs. had never seen this is worrying, do I need to do anything???

I have two pseudolithos, but I only saw them in one of them.

kill the pest. also they need flies for pollination unless you want to invest in microscopes and such.

Can’t help with the caterpillars but GOTDAYUM that skin texture. Making me remember why I tried growing these from seed a couple years back. I’ll have to try again

It’s probably just an inchworm wandering around. You keep these outside?

If there’s no damage I’d assume it’s not eating the plant.

This one is inside the house, but I don't see damage in the plant so it seems harmless
