Q.Caterpillar Problem

Zone North Port, Florida 34286 | Karen King added on May 11, 2020 | Answered

I have an alamanda vine that has orange caterpillars on it with tufts of black hairs all over. If they are going to become a beautiful butterfly I will leave them alone. If not how do I get rid of them.

I have answered this on the original question, but just in case- No, that is a pest that will kill your plants. Both the larval and adult stage will destroy many different plants.

This article will help you to get rid of them:
