I have a herd of small white caterpillers devouring some weeds and now they are on my hostas. They are about an inch long with a black head, their legs are light brownish. Any ideas on what they are and how to deal with them?

BT Spray will work if they are from moths or butterflies. I use it on my columbine. Here's Wikipedia's definition. You can pick it up at home depot or true value.
