      Wait there’s an update I couldn’t find the caterpillar but I found this weird mushroom. This plant is indoors. How are these other things getting in here?

      They grew naturally! It just means the grow medium is really healthy

    I recently got a caterpillar on my spider plant 😑 my plants don’t go outside and I also recently blasted all my plants in my shower and treated with soapy water cause I had a spider mite infestation on one of my plants and I somehow still ended up with a caterpillar. It pooped all over my plant and ate a bunch of it and I still haven’t found it. Mushrooms grow from the soil but are a sign of healthy soil. You can remove it if it bothers you but will enrich the soil as it decays.

      Oh wow! How "big"are these caterpillars? I provable choose the wrong hobby, as anything with more than 6 legs I'm phobic to! I found a small , my husband said a snail, but I had a full panic attack in front of my father in law... I'd die if I see an "adult" one...

      I don’t know size because I have yet to find the darn thing. I haven’t seen any new signs of damage or droppings on mine so I’m hoping I successfully blasted it off with the water hose.

    What do you guys suggest I do about the caterpillar? In general I’ve noticed that this plant has been droopy and some of the leaves are browning. I’ve had him for over a year and he’s been relatively healthy until now.

      You could try searching for it… or spraying the leaves down with the shower head?

    The caterpillar is probably decently big by now. Easy to spot.

    Is that a part of the leaf or is that a chrysalis?

      It almost looks like a little chrysalis!
