    Default What sort of caterpillars are these?

    Found these caterpillars stripping the leaves on Super Silver Haze
    Anyone know what sort they are?
    Hopefully I got them all!

    They look a little like Box Tree caterpillars... but I don't think they are

    Yes! along with the snails (that I've become quite fond of lol)
    I pick them off the plants each night and throw them into the bamboo hedge and they come back next night lolol - I'm starting to recognise them by their shells

    Check out this brown moth found this morning, newly hatched I think and he sat there for hours before flying away.
    I wonder if this sort of moth is responsible for those caterpillars?
    Never seen one of these before

    Those are all over Florida, we use to have to put moth balls in the closet's in order to keep them from eating our closes.
