I ended up dusting them with diazinon.That killed them, but sure wasn't very attractive, fortunately we had a good rain and it all washed off. They did a number on several plants though. This is the damage on B. richmondensis, as you can see it is almost defoliated. (It is better now than it was) I was afraid they would kill it. I hated to use the dust but when it is Me or Them--THEY gotta go!! They really did a number on River Nile too. Not all plants were damaged, they obviously found some tastier than others.
