I have some of those! They are on a vine.
There are oodles of the little fellas.
Do they make a butterfly? I had to re- read
what you had written.

It is not a pretty moth, is it? I couldn't believe how many there were. Must have just hatched out. They are about 1/2 '' long.
Look at the way they are eating that leaf. You got them up there where you live? Amazing, isn't it?
Thanks for the quick reply. Charleen
Here is other pic, I took.

certainly we have them here up north and they are in a hurry to grow because Winter isn't far away :).

I went out to look at that leaf this morning. No leaf the little fellas had moved up higher on the fence. Munching their way, it is starting to cool down a little and I know they know they better hurry up. I figured it was cool up there allthe time. Shows what I knows :-> Been nice talking with you. Thanks for putting up with my silliness.
