That feeling when you've got way too many caterpillars and not enough swan plants.
Why do they have to be so god damned picky? They turned up their nose at the pumpkin. Apparently they eat cucumber but then I'd have nothing for sandwiches...

They need the milkweed in order to pupate. Helps to swathe some bushes in curtain netting to feed the high season population growth.
