At least it's good for fertilizer or to add to your compost! Caterpillars are a major fertilizer of the forest floor. But cleaning up after them is not always so fun. The ones that get me the most are Polydamas and Monarchs and I think it's because their host plants smell so bad. One time at MOSI, I had to tell my boss I just couldn't clean the Polydamas tank because I was so nauseous. I just added new food for them to eat and left them at that.
