Caterpillars attack 10 Villages in Probolinggo

Hundreds of villagers were being attacked by thousands caterpillars at subdistrict Leces in Probolinggo. All the village's residents are feeling restless because the caterpillars itching their whole body.

As a consequence, villagers choose to stay at home. For those who has to go out, they are forced to use umbrella because they scared and feeling disgusted with caterpillars which were scattered on their surrounding. Temporary, villagers anticipate the caterpillar's attack by smearing some oil in front of their house.

Not only that, villagers also chop trees around their house in order to avoid the caterpillars come into their house. A week ago, a tiny butterfly turned into a caterpillar. This was the first occurance happened in subdistrict Leces.


Villagers no can only be defenseless , and  hope that the government can help them to handle this matter. Their main concern was a lot of mango trees' leaves been destroyed by the caterpillars.
