Caterpillar

Turkey initiated efforts to combat red tail caterpillars that emerged in a forest area in the west, according to a regional forest director on Sept. 27.

Due to the increased population of caterpillars, Vidin Municipality has taken measures for massive treatment against second-generation white American butterfly. On August 12, more than 900 trees were decontaminated in the most affected areas of the city.

Vegetarians and vegans listen up. New research shows plants are aware of when they are eaten. And they don’t like it.

The Grigore Antipa National Museum of Natural History in Bucharest opened an exhibition of live tropical butterfly exhibition on Sunday; a museum's release informed AGERPRES that the rare 'Butterfly World' event will stage exotic species from southeastern Asia, Central and South America, and equatorial Africa until the end of August.
