This caterpillar ate all of my false indigo to the main stems before I saw it. The plants are not in a prominent place, but I need to be better at IPM. Good to know that Bt works. Will try that next year, if it happens again. I cut all my plants back to the groun because they loked SO HORRIBLE. I have included a picture as well.

I'm marking this as neutral until I can determine how much damage it does to my baptisia.

The caterpillars of this moth are decimating my lupines. They spin a silky web around tender leaves and secondary blooms and cause the plants to wilt. From there, they move onto the unripened seeds. I've just started spraying with Bt, but may move on to something more toxic or just cut down and destroy affected lupine plants.
