Stone, I actually had a coffee weed volunteer with caterpillar at one time. A flower friend scared me so much about the invasiveness that I snatched it up after the caterpillar departed.
I'm pondering some scarlet runner bean for the skipper, but I have to tangle with some runaway scuppernong vines before I have a place for the beans. I think I actually have a butterfly pea mixed in with that same fence.
I'll have to look up the croton, and thank you for sharing your caterpillar and skipper photos.
Speaking of cats, I have wondered a long time what is in your kitten's mouth!?
