About a week ago i got some plants for my 10 gallon tank and i've noticed a number of un-wanted additions to my tank. I now have some small pest snails which i am dealing with (they are getting crushed / fed to a friends puffer). However today i noticed a leaf moving around, it seems the plants also had a caterpillar on them. Its about 2 cm long, green and has a load of hairs / spikes running along the side. It seems to have made a mobile home out of leaves which it is hiding in.

Anyone had any experiance with anything like this before? Do i need to remove it from my tank or will it be ok to leave it? Anyone know if it is a-sexual? Im guessing it will be, dont really want my tank over run with them!

Thanks for any help you can give

Sounds like something you might want to remove to me, could you post pics when you take it out?

Have tried taking a picture, but only have a camera on my mobile and its only giving blury pics. Will try again.
