As we know, interactions occur between living things. So plants with living things around them. Plants can be a place to live for other living things (habitat), even can be a host plant (host plants) for insects. Insects do metamorphosis or life cycle. To carry out its life cycle insects need nutrition. Some insects get their nutrition by eating plant parts such as leaves. This time we will share the observations we found on the tamarind tree ( Tamarindus indica ). First seen the existence of green caterpillars. Its head is large with a flat face and four head ornaments shaped like a beautiful crown or even looks like a dragon's head. So it is also known as The Dragon Headed Caterpillar. This caterpillar is active at night and during the day will tend to stay above the 'leaf bed'. When actively moving, the caterpillars will go back and forth.
