These caterpillars are feeding on the leaves of my Rangoon Creeper. They move together. When they finish eating a leaf they all move on to the next one.
Does anyone know what they are?

Thanks!

Io Moth from what I can see. Don't touch or you will get a bad sting

as donna said, don't touch. get some thuricide liquid and spray the plant. they will die from eating the leaves. it isn't instant but fairly fast working. ace or lowes carries it.
