Deb, I just googled your plant's name and the words "host plant". I found that it does indeed host the Zephyr Anglewing, Tailed Copper, and Cloudy Copper. As you live in the exact extreme opposite part of the country as me, I had to do a little research. Now, Coppers are small butterflies so the caterpillars would hardly be worth eating, if you can find them. Your Zephyr Anglewing is a lot like our Eastern Comma (for all the East Coast folks on here) and it doesn't appear to be green, nor would it be that big. Still big enough to eat, though. Could have been some kind of moth caterpillar. Next time, take a picture so we can all guess at it. Or you can always use the new Bug ID forum and then tell us what it is!
