Thanks everyone, Melanie I think you are right. the camera doesn't do this little guy justice it's color was such a vibrant lime. I can't believe I haven't seen any before we have tons of Partridge Pea around here and they say that's the host plant but I've never even seen a Cloudless Sulphur cat before looking it up. thanks again everyone

Ignoring Zones altogether

Freaking Tussock Moth cats decimating a ton of my Showy milkweed. I didn't kill them though. Gathered and tossed elsewhere. Being a Master Naturalist I acknowledge and appreciate the entire cycle of life. Mostly.

I draw the line though at aphids and Japanese beetles. They get no mercy. The JB are terrible this year - last thing I found they were destroying is my Dynamite Crape Myrtle of all things.

Seeking Feng Shui with my plants since 1976

Try milky spore to control JB's it last years with just one application. I wish they would do a fly over and drop it out a plane all over SC

Any idea what kind of moth this is? The University entomologist just said it was a moth and left it at that!

If you submit your pic to this site, they'll more than likely be able to identify it.

It looks like the legs on my photo was banded, I did not look like the army worm had banded legs.
