When we see holes in leaves and other "messes" we don't get annoyed, we rejoice. These signs mean that wildlife - insects, birds, mammals, etc. - are using our wildlife garden! So, when we found silky "nests" on the leaves of these Field Pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta) left over from our plant sale, we knew that caterpillars had found the plants or, more likely, a butterfly had laid eggs on them. A little further investigation revealed Painted Lady caterpillars (identified by Diane Lepage). We often see American Lady caterpillars on Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) in our Backyard Garden, but this is the first time we've seen similar signs of Painted Ladies. A cause for celebration!
