Found 2 of them but I know there are more. The first thing I noticed was the droppings, (frass?) all over the floor around the pot and on many of the leaves. Once I started to look closer, the leaves on the inside, that are more hidden, are eaten way more than the one's outside. The one's you can see from the outside, without looking closely, they are just eating around the edges so I didn't notice it was being eaten right away. The plant is moved into my sunroom now with a bunch of other plants and I don't want these in there unless they are going to be some really nice butterflies when done, but they don't look like it. They don't look nice at all. Here is the first one I found. He wasn't moving, just hanging there.
