Who is eating my cassia?

Jacksonville, FL(Zone 9a)

These guys better be something special. This was a Cassia alata seedling, just a few weeks old and look at it now. I have six other seedlings in the same state. I have two other 8' Cassias that they could have feasted on but wouldn't you know they got the babies.

What are my chances of this poor little thing making it?

oh how wonderful. You have some sort of Sulpher Butterfly cats. Hope you have more or they won't make it.

Thank you, I should have remembered that the sulphurs love the cassias. I set a bale of pine straw beside a bicapsularis and moved all the pots onto it. Several of the branches are hanging low enough so the cats can climb onto the larger tree. There is nothing prettier than a blooming cassia with the sulphurs flying around it.
