ENEMEY of Polygonum chinense

ABALI - the Organic Garden on Vrikshayaurveda

On my visit to Abali last month I was pleasantly surprised seeing a caterpillar feeding only on Polygonum chinense. The rest of the weeds around it were untouched by it. And I found this in a few places. I have brought this caterpillar back and given it to Tea Research Association, Jorhat to identify this caterpillar.
In case anyone has an idea of what this caterpillar is or if they have seen similar ones in their gardens, please get back to me/TRA.
I am attaching a couple of photographs on this blog
