This first one is from my Grape Ivy which usually have members of the sphinx family larvae on it. These were only about an inch long two days ago when I took them so I do not recognize them. Anybody know?

Thanks

These are larvae of a sawfly, either in the family Argidae or Tenthredinidae.

I just did a little reading on these, looks like I need to eradicate them, normally I let nature take its course. I think I should remove them, do you agree?

It really depends on how much damage you think that the plants can tolerate. I usually opt for control only if it appears that a plant (or plants) appear in danger of serious harm or death.
