I searched the web and i think they are tiger moth catterpillars. I was gone for a month and they have eaten half my garden!

Don't worry...they will soon be in cocoons and turn into beautiful butterflies! In the mean time try to turn their attention to other plants that they have high interest in. After all...I'm sure you will enjoy seeing those beautiful butterflies in your garden next year! Give a little...get a little...its what mother nature is all about.
Reply:Above answer is correct - please don't add any poison to your garden!!
Reply:These moths will not be beutiful butterflies but pests and nuisances..they are from gypsy moths etc....the brown ones are not butterflies..monarch larvae are bright green with many colored stripes..as shown below
