I can hope about the other plant. My usual treatment for the snails is to toss them into the road in front. I figure that if they make it, they're survivors. The 7 caterpillars I found on my in-the-ground milkweed I carried across the street & left to their fates. Don't know if I'm soft- or hard-hearted. Or just a wuss.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-1155623278412414722006-08-14T23:27:00.000-07:002006-08-14T23:27:00.000-07:00What an incredibly beautiful caterpillar!

They finally did in my beautiful blue passionflower vine - but left the red one intact. grrr!<BR/><BR/>Are you sure the milkweeds are dead? Often, a host plant has evolved to deal well with these indignities. My Desert Rose gets periodic Gulf Frittilary attacks, where it's totally denuded of leaves - then, within a couple weeks, is full of leaves again, and bursts into exuberant bloom.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-1155589567433400362006-08-14T14:06:00.000-07:002006-08-14T14:06:00.000-07:00Well, you are probably right.

Hate to say it, but I'd probably destroy the hungry little buggers.<BR/><BR/>They do not belong in my own personal backyard ecosystem.pbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568681879593734160noreply@blogger.com
