This is probably a daft question, but if you use specific plants to
attract
butterflies to the garden, won't the caterpillars then eat everything in
sight? Are there some caterpillars that are not good to have in the
garden?
I'm thinking of cabbage white, for instance -- don't they ruin your
veggies?
How do you tell the difference between "good" caterpillars and "bad" ones
(no doubt that's politically incorrect)?


Probably, but who cares? The good ones are the dead ones. Just like cats
really. :-)
