Am still unable to get a fix on these little buggers. They're not eating...or least I can't tell...heck they're so tiny! Still don't see any signs of frass. They are just 'there' - no crawling around...nada. I put in fresh leaves from everything in the legume family I could find...and nudged one a bit. So I know that one is still alive. Still waiting and watching.

I also sent some photos to a Texas entomologist friend of mine...he thought perhaps a younger instar of something from the rekoa family. Is forwarding my photos to a couple of experts in the lep field.

Here's a photo from yesterday...the underside. I nudged one a bit and it rolled over. Seems legarthic and was able to get a photo before it righted itself.
