We had an unprecedented number of genista moth caterpillars on many Texas Mountain Laurels this spring. They are gone now. Don't know about the baptisia, They only made some parts of the TML'S look bad. But the plants are fine (they're pretty tough). I'm cutting them back a bit. The moths go through their life cylce every spring and then are gone until the next spring here. I just don't have any experience with baptisias, so not sure if they could survive the caterpillars or not.
