Catepillars have eaten every leaf!!!


Scarlet Milkweed

Butterfly Gardening question for you? The caterpillars have shredded every leaf off my two 3ft tall milkweeds and 5 3" tall baby plants I started from seed. The gulf fertility have eat every last weed off my 3ft tall passion vine. There are three more baby's on the vine and no leaves left.

Should I be concerned? Should I peel them off until the plant comes back?

Or

Is this the natural cycle and they the plants will come back when the butts are done laying eggs?
