Default Re: First tent caterpillars of the season

You realize that the catapillars on your passion vines are probably butterflies? I hate to kill them, so I grow a couple of vines just for them and relocate them from my more treasured vines. Passion vine is the main, if not sole, food source of the Gulf Fitalliary butterfly. If you're not familiar with it, that's the one that looks like a monarch, maybe smaller.
