Something's in my Kalanchoe

Hi.

I wonder if you can help me. I bought two Kalanchoes from B&Q a couple of months ago an i noticed that beneath the pink one, there has been a constant smattering of little brown/black granules. It took me a while to realise it is some sort of fecal matter. Something has been eating the leaves and my sister spotted a small green caterpillar, which I've not seen since. There are two small almost web like 'bits' on the plant, but I can not see anything obvious in either.

I looked up what can eat Kalanchoe and I found the Red Pierrot (Talicada nyseus), which is native to Asia.

Is it likely to be this? Whatever it is is still very active as I have to clear away the faeces daily, there is a remarkable amount for something I can't even see!!

Thanks for any advice
