EF - I haven't noticed any change in the Monarchs laying their eggs when a plant has aphids. I think they cause more worry for the gardener than for the BF.

These aren't butterflies, but they are caterpillars. I noticed 3 large tersa sphinx moth caterpillars on my pentas this evening. I never could get a good shot of the green variety, but thought people might enjoy this closeup of the brown one. I brought them in and will hopefully have some moths soon.
