Not sure about your geranium caterpillar. I believe more than one
type of caterpillar can be a problem, so you need to spot it and
identify it.


Tortrix moth is probably the cause of your lemon tree leaves being
webbed together. Simply unpeel the web layer, find the caterpillar
and squish it.




Sorry! No squishing. Offer it to the birds instead.
