Does anyone have ANY clue what they are and why / where they have come from???
Need rid of these!!!


my other half says they are (cabbage) caterpillas as we live in the country thats what they eat, but any flowers you have they will head for and eat, the splash of early sun we have had has made them mature early, they will become butterflys, but *1) how much damage will they do first and * 2) do you want that many cocoons all over your garden till then ? so my advice is a good dose of boiling water and block any holes around your door, hope i was of some help
