What a surprise to find these on my Aloe! I have no clue what they are but the are big for moths. One pic shows what looks like eggs laid. Will they hatch and eat my plant? Aloes are not native here so it seems strange that it would be chosen. If they are “good” insects, I can spare some aloe for feed. Or should I eliminate the eggs?
I can get different pictures if needed.
