What's eating the leaves off my new Tahitian lime?
We do have possums in the area and I did spray for "bugs" when I first noticed it, but, it didnt help!

Possums will decimate a tree quickly but so will the citrus butterfly larvae. The caterpillar can consume a considerable amount and can cause extreme damage to a small tree. Apply Dipel to control this beastie.
