In my yard today I saw about 16 black caterpillars which appear to be Silvery
Checkerspots. They have almost eaten all leaves of the purple coneflower. I
searched for other host plants. Black-eyed Susan is one. I have plenty of
that a few yards away from the caterpillars. Do you think I should try to move
the caterpillars since they will probably be out of leaves by morning?
I have never seen Silvery checkerspot in my yard so this is a surprise to me to
find the caterpillars.
