You might lose some, but overall it should come back, but I would NOT
do anything to harm the pillers,as they are on the protected list.
There's been a downturn in the their numbers, so let'm feed and then
sleep.

I want to encourage butterflies in my garden, but the caterpillars
are
consuming the milkweed plant. The plant is practically leafless now.

Will the plant bounce back? How should I deal w/these critters?
