My wife planted several milkweed plants in the gardens to attract the Monarch butterflies to lay eggs. Those of course turn into caterpillars that are hungry. We had several in the front yard and they stripped every single leaf on that plant off. It is nothing but stems now. So Mrs Carrera would haul the caterpillars to the back yard where she had planted more milkweed bushes. The back yeard is the domain of another hunger predator, the short 4 legged canine caterpillar sucker. He thinks they are tasty treats and slurps them down. Mrs Carrera is not happy about that so the dogs are restricted to the side yard and can only go in the back yard with supervision and a human caterpillar body guard.
