sorry, that should read "all species...". They also love Amaryllis belladonna. Also known (in South Africa) as the "Amaryllis caterpillar". They have just wiped out most of my Clivias and an A. belladonna. Johannesburg, South Africa.

these guys chow all sepcias of Crinum, Clivia and Hippeastrum (all indigenous South African plants) and the only thing I have found that helps is Karbadust though I am trying to find a friendlier organic alternaive -- any ideas?

This lovely bright coloured little caterpillar can decimate a crop of C.pedunculatum within days! Have found that consistent applications of certified chemicals is the only way to beat them. Sad, but true. Have found major success with intermediate plantings of C.Xanthophyllum, rather then straight plantings of C.pedunculatum.

These are all over the canary flowers. What will they look like when they
become butterflies.
