we've been lucky this year - after last year, I thought this place would be completely defoliated by now! Starting to see a few, and they are being stomped!

I'm not too crazy about them either, but I'm lucky to be in the city, where army worms are more of a problem.

I hate them too, but I am lucky this season I have not seen any.

My place is mostly defoliated and deflowered from huge lubbers this year. All except the weeds of course lol. Too bad the chickens wont eat them "/

I also haven't seen even one - unlike in recent years.

I've seen two this year which is more than i have ever seen while living at this house. One hung out on the back wall of my house for a few nights if he ate what he found there then more power to him, my red stem phylo is insane back there. Then i saw one on my plumeria and i just hosed him til he fell off and he went to more hospitable environs.

i think they are pretty.

I get hundreds of them every spring. I kept trying to figure out how they were nourishing themselves this past spring because they were all around and growing to full maturity yet I couldn't find any damaged plants. Anyway they always disappear from my yard early in the summer. I assumed they get mostly eaten.

I don't care for lubbers either, tho they're so fascinating to watch. I've cheerfully murdered plenty, even the babies.

Was there supposed to be a picture?
