The Lantana leaves look partly eaten.
The horn worm do it?
They eat a toxic plant already.
Would be a possible first.

it's the only worm i have seen on the lantana, but i have a bunch of it
and it's very tall and spread out all up and down the side of the driveway.
there are a lot of the leaves that have funny looking white spots.
i hope we don't lose it...we've had it for years.

They tolerate dry soil well, but wet leaves at night allow a fungal growth. If they get watered, water in the morning and only on sunny days so leaves dry during the day.

In this case, cocoons for the pupae, not eggs -- already feasted on prime caterpillar, soon to be a flight of braconid wasps! (If the birds don't get them all.) Perhaps the internal gnawing, or even perhaps wasp enzymes, prompted the cat to migrate? Not unheard of behavior. Really fine photos.
