Thank you for the info. :) No one in my family has a "green thumb"... so no one really explained to me how they harm or are of use in here. :)

Bad enough. Some crops eaten by them, but I'm forget what kind of crops. First time I know that this one is a pest since i was kid, my father told me.

I can actually see some effects in the area but the gardener has her ways to protect the area and at the same time preserve this specie. That's why I got more curious. :) How's this affecting there?
achmmad
Doesn't it become pest in your area?
