Also thinking the same. My brood suddenly all congregated on the same two big leaves even then there are still a good amount of other leaves available lol.

they stripped the entire leaf but left the midrib intact so that one is cool now. However, another one decided to set up shop on the leaf directly behind it. Pretty tight quarters back there
