Brazilian Agricultural Pest - Ascia Monuste Orseis
In Saquarema, Brazil, on September 3, 2025, the caterpillar of the butterfly commonly known in Brazil as ''Curuquere-da-Couve'' (Ascia monuste orseis) is one of the main agricultural pests that attack leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, and mustard. In its larval stage, the caterpillar rapidly consumes the leaves until it reaches the pupa stage. In this image, a kale leaf is being attacked by the Ascia monuste orseis caterpillar.
