I just bought two butterfly weed bushes (asclepias). I was so excited to see this new friend in the garden today. I see several tiny ones, but this full sized one really was a surprise. My question: I see tiny bright yellow little mite looking bugs. They are moving & appear to have little legs. I was hoping they were larve. I am not even sure of the terminology. There are all kinds of other little bugs too. Do I just let nature keep its order, or should I cover them somehow to keep the birds away? What kind of leaves will the monarch caterpillars eat?
