I guess I got lucky! I also planted some milkweed in the front, maybe that will be a peace offering this year for the caterpillars.

There is one species of butterfly that eats these vines and nothing else.
If they see your vines you are doomed.
It may be because you are so far north they dont come that far.

I guess I dodged a bullet there. Then again what I lack in those butterfly caterpillars I more than make up for in green army cutworms. I had issues with those, the Mantids didn't like to eat 'em.
