Hairy Caterpillars

If you are doing a great job of providing host plants (the plant the female butterfly elects to lay her egggs on), you will have to deal with caterpillars. The host plant is selected for it´s food supply for the caterpillar. And some caterpillars are ravenous eaters. In other words, "whoops, there goes another plant." If they are eating excessive foliage, try moving them to the backside of the plant or to another plant (same type of course) that is less noticeable in your garden.
CAUTION: Just to be safe, wear gloves when dealing with hairy caterpillars. Some of them sting!
