I have had the same problem with my butterfly weed, but like Kemberly stated
in her post, they seem to stay with the butterfly weed and do not bother any
of the plants around it. I haven't seen a single one travel beyond the
infested plant. When I have the time, I go blow them off with the water
hose. They will eventually come back, but do not seem to harm the plants at
all, and they always return to the butterfly weed and not the other plants.
Don't worry - I have seen my BWeed almost eaten to the ground by
caterpillars, and it comes right back. It is a very, very tough plant.
