Spodoptera ornithogalli (yellowstriped armyworm) is the evil spawn of Satan!!!

I had 4 2-gal containers all with about 1/2-3/4-inch sprouts of kale. The yellowstriped armyworm caterpillars ate every bit of them within about 2 days

They also got all of my new cherry tomato sprouts and I found one hammering a pepper plant today.

ARRGGHHHHHH!!!!

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
