This is a red castor bean leaf. Occasionally worms like this attack it and do considerable damage. I was inspecting the plant yesterday and found this beheaded worm and a stink bug hanging around it on a leaf's underside. I also see some tiny white eggs on the leaf. Can anyone put this nature scene together for me as I am very curious to know about it. Thank you.
