He just wouldn’t leave that leaf!!! Was there for nearly 3 full days!!! I wore my leaf cleaning gloves and successfully evicted him to the wild. Felt good watching him scurry away to find his much needed next meal!🪴🦎🤗

As a tenants’ rights advocate, I’m morally and ethically against evictions. As a plant lover, I support this re-homing endeavor

lol, he was happy for a long time, but I knew he missed a few meals! I don’t have many flying pests to feed on…
