Milkweed plant

Mifflintown, PA(Zone 6a)

I grow milkweed for the monarchs, but I have a load of other cats on my plants. I think they are a tussock moth. Which one I dont know. Anyone else have this problem? What do you do abt it? I have shook a few of mine off. I want my plants for monarchs.

I think if possible I would put them in a box and take them to an area along the road that needs a trim. Others told me once they cause a lot of plant damage, plus when they mate you will have more!

Some types sting, so be careful, wear gloves.
