One plant stripped - the other checked and caterpillars removed. Unless these are someting unusual they are headed for the bin as there isn't enough plant left to feed them

I have found & raised them on Wahlenbergia sp. Your plant I see is also called Isotoma sp which is another food plant for this sp

Thanaks Wendy. I rarely see the moth here so a surprise. Also unfortunate that I don't have any of the food plants listed in LBH and they have ruined the 2 isotoma which they have ruined. Not much wahlembergia nearby so I might have to take them for a drive tomorrow and find a roadside patch to rehome them to..
