Spotted at Tungareshwar WLS, the leaves of a small plant seemed to be eaten off, to find the reason for this weathering I closely observed the leaf and it was filled with very tiny caterpillars chomping off the leaves at serious speeds.
ID help needed (Confused between Jezebel and Orange tip)

Nice to see so many caterpillars on a single leaf. Jezebel are usually yellow-brown with a black head. Good details. The vertical composition looks nice. Experts please confirm the id. Thanks for sharing.
With so many of these fellows, working together, an entire tree can be leafless in no time. Did you sight many of these in other leaves as well?
Yes, I did. By the time we came back from the photowalk the whole plant was emptied of leaves
