i think i will indeed move them... maybe to the neighbor's yard! 
but not until my hubby gets back from his business trip. knowing him, he's not going to believe me and will want to touch the caterpillars himself. who am i to stand in his way?!  Ahhh, the love | |

I love your flower!
And the caterpillar's coat is a lovely shade of green. Take him to the zoo! . [Edited 9/20/04 8:41am] ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

I think it's time you sat down and talked to the little critters. Explain that the flowers are of personal significance and that, if they would be so kind, they might leave your flowers alone.
Seriously, move them all onto one plant. Remove the other plants to another pot/location. Enjoy plants/flowers AND caterpillars. IMHO they are prettier than the flowers
Other thing to remember is they will be butterflies soon, they could be ratehr spectacular and if they like that flower they will return to lay eggs so you might always have triple beauty. Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

Never thought about the butterfly aspect of it. They probably are going to be beautiful butterflies in your garden | |

Thanks hun. I had a similar experience this year. I grew cabbages for the first time in the garden which after a while became overrun with cabbage-white butterflies. Cabages were decimated but neigbours kept commenting to me about how many butterflies there were this year and how pretty they have been dancing between the gardens. Next year I will grow a couple of cabbages just for the butterflies.Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

When I was younger, we lit one of those big hairy catepillars on fire. I'm not kidding at all when I say this, that damn thing screamed. It sounded just like a little person yelling in pain. Those things have spooked me ever since. | |
