While this critter doesn't seem to do permanent damage and is only here for about 6 weeks, it certainly does a lot of visual damage eating the leaves and flowers of several plants: roses, honeysuckle, 4 o'clocks, vinca. While I don't want to use pesticides, I sure wish there was a way to control them or make them go away.
