Izhar bhai i found this large size larwa on my only lemon n mitthay plant. It eats its leafes n initially its size is very small but it grows rapidly. I used "politran c" which kills intantly but just after 2 to 3 days it comes again.

Re: some kind of larwa on only citrus plant
This ugly looking caterpillar is a baby butterfly! Instead of spraying something on your lemon, manually pick them and throw them away elsewhere. If your lemon tree is large, leave it, if it is young then remove them.

Do not focus too much on them. This is how it us supposed to be. Let there be butterflies. They are lovely creatures.
