Hey Shane,

I'd suggest  that you treat those little fellers to some tasty BT!

Or if there are only a few just knock 'em off and stomp 'em.

Not fritillary. They don't swarm.

Tossed them in the dirt yesterday thinking i had a good picture. Can't find any others. Thinking it might be common buckwheat, but probably some other well known pest.

Will keep looking.
