Just an update: while I haven't seen this caterpillar around since, ALL of the aphids on the milkweeds in this bed are GONE! I have quite a bit of milkweeds located in the bed, and although the incarnata's are mostly "burned" (browned foliage; I had another thread about this), I see no more aphids! A good guy indeed; thanks for the help. Hopefully others will be more inclined to ask before squishing ;)

Joe, I wintersowed some milkweed seed this year. It's up but still small, I have most of those other plants that are mentioned in this post. Don't forget to plant some Maypop for the Gulf Frits. Yes, I get them here in NE OK. They have had a program going at the botanical garden in Tulsa in past years. Not sure if that's still going on. Also I grew fennel last year and I had a lot of those Monarch caterpillars on it. With fennel, IF they leave you anything, you can use it in cooking or just enjoy the fragrance. But usually they strip the plant down to bare stems. They can be found in dill umbels, too.
