# Seems like something is eating my Wizard Rose. I can’t for the life…

_Publicado por Dev el 2023-06-11_

Seems like something is eating my Wizard Rose. I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s eating it. The only thing I’ve seen on it is a small jumping spider, otherwise I haven’t seen any other pests. Anyone have any insight as to what’s eating it? Also any home remedies that might help this?

If it’s inside, it may be something like a pet that you have? If it’s outside, it may be a caterpillar or something like that, maybe a slug? Not 100% sure. Good luck finding out!

Thank you! It’s outside. I suspect slugs or caterpillars but I’m not too sure how to deter them. The internet has some varying opinions on what to do.

This is a Coleus yes? If so, and outside, its def caterpillars! I have many outside and can’t keep the leaves from being eaten to save my life. Coleus are super tasty to this guys! Its like a salad bar! They love them! Look on under sides of the leaves (they can be super tiny when babies) and you will find them!  
I can’t bring myself to spray pesticide since they turn into beautiful moths or butterflies… they’ve gotta eat too! But to each there own. I just gave up on being able to have Coleus for this reason. Too bad because they are so beautiful!

Maybe another plant that the caterpillars will want to eat even more?

Ha ha, like my mint plant the FINALLY grew a handful of leaves, then got mowed down to the stumps in one night by 2 hungry caterpillars yesterday!

#### Danika respondió el 2023-06-12

I need to find a plant that they love and I don’t, ha ha… thats hard!
