Course Overview
Frangipani caterpillars can defoliate plumeria quickly, but the right response starts with confirmation.
This course teaches students to recognize feeding damage, find caterpillars and early stages, remove and contain the pressure, and re-check before damage repeats.
The course avoids treating every chewed leaf as the same pest problem. Students learn to connect leaf damage, frass, timing, and visible caterpillars before acting.
Treatment logic stays proportional: small plants and light pressure may need hand removal and cleanup, while severe active pressure calls for faster containment and closer follow-up.
Course Outcomes
- Recognize frangipani caterpillar feeding damage and rapid defoliation patterns.
- Find caterpillars by checking undersides, stems, hiding places, and early stages.
- Use hand removal and cleanup when pressure is limited.
- Match the response to plant size, infestation level, and new flush vulnerability.
- Plan re-inspection and prevention to reduce repeat outbreaks.

Learning Note
Use these readings as supporting references after you complete the PlumeriaWay observation steps. Confirm the caterpillar evidence first, then match the response to plant size, pest pressure, and follow-up findings.
