Hi,
I found your website checking on the Genista caterpillar. I’ve attached two pictures of them on the Lupinus diffusus in Polk County, Florida. I had sent the pictures to an Entomology Dept. at University of Florida for an ID. I read with interest your posting of the caterpillar on another plant.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for sending the photos. Genista Caterpillars are not very common online.

I am on west coast of Florida, Anna Maria Island. Just found quite a few of these on my necklace pod bushes (native florida plant). Cut off affected branches and sprayed with spionsad. Keep watch, it sounds like these could be very destructive.
