I planted some fennel to attract them. They found it really early this year. I'm wondering if there is enough plant to sustain the number of caterpillars. I just don't think the acreage here is enough to feed the herd I'm seeing. The food supply is disappearing a lot faster than it's growing. Anyone else think I should reduce the numbers?
