Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I discovered these tiny little cattipilliars original on my yarrow plant. They are now living in one of my containers and seem to love my lantana and sweet potato vine. Three of them were found, but I discovered to microscopic ones later on. They are very tiny and hard to capture on macro setting. They are pale yellow with a brown with chevron markings (change color depending on what plant they eat). They move like inch worms if that helps. I'm thinking a moth of some kind?
