My wife was watering a small pine tree from the garden on December 30, 2017, when she realizes that there is a caterpillar of green, black and orange colors going up by a leaf of aloe vera until it begins to hang. Then, She goes for her mom with the kids.

The next day at 10:24 a.m. she takes the following pictures ![1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXFLmtoXyd9YjAJ6Kuk6gad5FxNCARWm9HbWCxWx4uWrX/1.jpg)Fig.1
