 o
Ferns are being stripped of leaves

I have two ferns on the front porch. The leaves are being competely striped of the leaves and little black round balls are on the floor under the plants.

I have seen some small lizards around, but not for sure what is happening to the plants.

If you have any ideas let me know.

RE: Ferns are being stripped of leaves

Sounds like caterpillars to me, and the little round balls are cat poo. Check for the culprits under the leaves, perhaps, hiding out during the day. They might be more active in the early morning or evening hours.
