stonepig Caterpillars.....arggggghhhhh!

Sunday, 12 Oct 08 (posted about 1 months ago) Overcast 14°C / 57°F

I’ve been noticing for a few days that some of my plants are getting eaten and have been blaming it on the slugs. A late night inspection yesterday however revealed about 20 caterpillars munching happily on my winter plants – they’ve decimated the mizuna, pak choi, broccoli, beetroot and kale. I took the attached photo of one of the bigger ones as it clambered up one of my chilli plants.
