**Suzanne
Rousseau in Sussex reports that a milkweed tussock moth caterpillar was
spotted in a neighbour's milkweed patch.
This
caterpillar may be very pleasing to the eye but is very destructive to a patch
of milkweed if it appears in numbers which it often does when it occurs. A
group of caterpillars will move in unison like an army eating their way through
and capable of skeletonizing a milkweed patch.
