The pipe vine I planted 4 years ago has really taken off this spring. I went out to see if I saw any little pipes and lo and behold I found the plant covered with these caterpillars. From what I was able to determine from the internet these are pipe vine butterfly caterpillars. Is this correct? BTW I did find a few pipes on the vines as well.
