Someone eats my basil plant 🌱.
In my country we are in the rainy season, the garden greens up and visitors come to enjoy the place.
I love to plant basil is one of my favorite plants, for its medicinal and culinary properties that allow to use these leaves in different preparations.
A few days ago I began to notice when I watered my plant that its leaves had marks, part of its leaf was missing, I thought that some rodent could be eating my basil.
I noticed, in the following days that some of its leaves were a little yellow and the truth is that my plant looked decayed, so I started the investigation to help my plant and to know by whom it was being attacked.
I always water my plant early in the morning and in the evening, with a small amount of water, for each watering, its leaves are always radiant, but now they were bitten at the edges and in other areas it had small holes.
Today when I tried to water my basil I found an unwanted visitor, who was on my plant eating its leaves.
The investigation was over, as I discovered who it was that was eating my plant, a grasshopper who was very happily feasting on basil.
This grasshopper 🦗 has become a threat and problem for my plant, because if I neglect it could eat it all, I know that this is one of the worst pests in nature.
I know of this species since I was a child, they were very frequent in my mom's garden, this is a stem grasshopper, I know this by its color and appearance, if we see it from afar it could pass for a dry branch.
It was impressive to see it eating my basil plant, however I don't want to harm the grasshopper, 🦗 it is looking for food to survive.
So I am going to prepare a liquid which consists of water and crushed garlic, to spray the plant, maybe this will keep the grasshopper away, because I also know that these are very selective when choosing their food.
For me it is necessary to respect nature, but I must also protect my plant from this eater, otherwise my plant could die.
So I am going to use home remedies to keep this grasshopper away 🦗 and have it seek to eat grass from somewhere else.
Someone eats my basil plant...new in my garden in this rainy season 🌱🌧️.

Yeah.. it's good that you take care of your plants and the uninvited visitor.😊😊
Yes, the truth is that I love my few plants and I like to keep them healthy.
Yeah.. as I read ma'am. You do love your plants and care for the animals. 😊
I didn't see the grasshopper the first time, it really looks like a branch and rightly has that name haha
I hope it will be solved and I love that you respected nature so much, someone else in your place would have killed the grasshopper.
Yes, they are a rare species and I'm sorry it's hungry but I can't let it feed on my plant 🌱.
I was watching a video about this plant, it lasts only one year, so before its cycle ends collect its seeds and put some stems to germinate.
The truth is that mine has more than a year with a good pruning has been effective its cycle, I have already collected their seeds to have another copy of this favorite plant.
Hola !! Espero que logre resolver ese ataque feroz del saltamontes 🦗. Yo coloco como repelente logré solventar agua 💧 jabón y vinagreta , y lo aplicó con un rociador , a la planta. Espero te resulte 😊😉
I was given two alternatives: crushed garlic with water and spicy 🌶️ with water, now I'm trying the first mixture to see how it works 🌱 the ideal is to protect both species.
El ajo es una maravilla también no sé si funciona con 🦗. Espero que si !!
Keep up the good work. 👏
