How do I control large leaf eating worm on my lantana without endangering butterflies? Lots of butterflies are enjoying my lantana, but so has a very large “tomato” worm. I have removed the worm, but would like to know if there is a way I can control this in the future without endangering butterflies and hummingbirds who also stop by on occasion. Is Sevin safe in this application?

Neem Oil is an excellent product for the garden.
It works as both an insecticide and fungicide, is safe for people, pets and bees.
