Hey y'all so i do a lot of host planting for fritillaries (passiflora) and due to the cool weather the past few weeks they have absolutely exploded in population instead of holding off until the Fall when my vines have had a chance to grow. This happened in previous seasons when there were dozens and the problem was manageable but this year there are HUNDREDS. I give them a few days until they run out of food. I'm located near Springdale/Airport in 78721. Must have passiflora caeurela or incarnata and you can't be spraying for mosquitos. DM me!
PS i've done some releases in public areas around me but i'm always suspicious when i don't see those vines eaten by other caterpillars; i don't want to risk releasing this many where someone might have sprayed pesticides.
