Have your Baptisia been looking a little ragged lately? Check for these little guys. We are certainly having an outbreak in our yard, maybe due to the weirdness of the spring this year (?). I expect the Indigos will survive, but they don’t look particularly pleased at the moment.
It’s said that these critters also like other pea-family shrubs, so beware. At least the caterpillars are cute. Their plentiful poop—-not so much.
Caterpillar poop
I’ve never seen that one before. Very cool!
We’ve got plenty to spare, Henry. Want a few dozen?
