  • agroecologist · plausible

    “Lepidopteran caterpillars feeding on garlic foliage is biologically reasonable; order-level granularity coarse but consistent with extension-style listing.”

  • horticulturist · plausible

    “Caterpillar damage to garlic leaves is documented in tropical horticulture; affected part leaf and herbivory damage type consistent.”
