Bali Announces State of Emergency Caterpillars Enemy. The caterpillars in other regencies seek various trees to multiply. Each tree is taken up by between 100 and 1,000 caterpillars.
Most renowned Indonesia's island Bali is under caterpillar attack in the past week. As a result, the local administration announced a state of emergency.
"For the time being, the caterpillars have only invaded trees," said Chief of Agriculture, Plants and Food Agency of Bali, Made Putra Suryawan, on Wednesday.
Seven regencies are under facing further threat from the caterpillars including Bali's capital Denpasar, Buleleng, Jembrana, Gianyar, Klungkung, Tabanan and Karangasem.
In Buleleng, each tree is occupied by between 200 and 1,000 caterpillars. Similar to the occurrence in East Java, Bali's caterpillars aim at mango trees.
The caterpillars in other regencies seek various trees to multiply. Each tree is taken up by between 100 and 1,000 caterpillars.
"No reports have been received from Badung and Bangli regencies. But it's more likely that caterpillars are also there," he said.
The Bali administration suggested that caterpillar-eaters such as ants and birds are not collectively killed so as to restrict more caterpillars from increasing in amount.

Bali Announces State of Emergency Caterpillars Enemy
The Rolls-Royce Mini Come To The World
The Rolls-Royce Mini Come To The World with the new style and design. The interior is the clearest indication of the conglomeration between the two brands. The dash, console, seats, roof-lining and door-pillars are all clad in the exclusive Rolls-Royce colour Corn Silk, while deep-pile lambswool carpet mats, identical to the fleece used in current Rolls models, are thick enough to put Ugh-boots to shame.
BMW's lower- and upper-end British brands, Mini and Rolls-Royce, have combined to create a limited edition luxury hatchback. The new "Inspired by Goodwood" Mini was created by the Rolls-Royce design team behind million-dollar limousines such as the Phantom.
The all-black-exterior Mini Goodwood won't cost quite as much if BMW Australia is successful in securing the car, which will be built in a limited production run of 1000 units, but UK motoring media are reporting the car could be very expensive for a small car - about $80,000 (approximately £50,000).
Named after the home town of Rolls-Royce and built under the watchful eye of the town's locals, the Goodwood model features lashings of luxury with the aim of ensuring the top-dollar Mini exhibits "the highest level of workmanship and stylish supremacy".

Other fancy materials include cashmere for the rooflining and walnut-burr wood and nappa leather for the dash. The Mini's instruments also borrow Rolls' unique typeface.
Under the bonnet, though, you won't find Rolls' coveted 6.75L V8 engine - instead, the Goodwood features the 1.6-litre turbo engine from the Cooper S, which produces 135kW of power and a maximum torque figure of 260Nm of torque. The car will be fitted with a standard 6-spd manual gearbox but a six-speed automatic will be an added for an cost extra.
The Goodwood is the lastest in a line of pint-sized luxury runabouts from high-end prestige manufacturers, which includes Aston Martin's upcoming pint-sizer, the Cygnet, (about $55,000, on sale in Australia early 2012) and the $80,000 Ferrari-inspired Fiat Tributo 695 hot hatch.
The news of Mini's most expensive model comes less than a week after its announced its new local cut-price model, the $25,500 Mini Ray. The limited edition model will make its debut at the Shanghai motor show next week.
