I found 14 caterpillars in the weeds feeding on a weed that has small pink flowers. ( I live in Ohio) The caterpillars are up tp 1 and a half inches long. They are black with yellow running along the bottom of each side. They also have 9 sets of yellow blobs running down their backs. They have white to light tan bristles on their bodies. The largest one also has reddish spots between the yellow blobs. They are making silk strings and webs in the container they are in now. I need to know what they are so that I can take care of them now that bad weather is coming.
