Found some new friends today. These are Orange Barred Sulphur caterpillars on Senna ligustrina. This time of year, they eat flower buds which makes them more yellow so they blend in better.

I was sitting in my car and the hummingbird decided to stop in for a snack. It's on Necklace Pod, a native plant that's a great nectar source. It can also take the full Florida sun on the south side of the house!
