Caterpillars on Lotus Leaves

Butterflies/moth select only certain type of plant as their hostplant and it is different from species to species.

I didn't realise that even lotus leaves is also hostplant for butterfly or moth!

I believe this is the larvae of  Spodoptera litura. moth.

 Closer look of the caterpillar.

They feed on the lotus leaf and very destructive consider a pest in many country.
