Re: good bug bad bug

Thanks to all that responded, and it doesn't appear to have damaged
anything.... but of course, it would do that in the earlier stages by
defoliaging something.
 
I was hoping to spend some time out there and attempt to get a better look,
but it isn't going to happen.
 
What I did see was my Lola red hot poker blooming!  I bought this plant in
2004 (?) and this is the first time it bloomed.  I was thinking about getting
rid of it so I guess it figured it best put on a show.....Although it may get
bigger in time, right now the blooms are at least 4 ft off the
ground...perfectly in the middle of my bedroom window....whoo hoo....

Donna, I doubt you are going to lose anything.  I have no idea what their host
plant is, but I've had them for years now and I've never seen anything eaten. 
Today I saw one for the first time in the Home Depot shrub yard.  It was
getting nectar from the lantana.
