A number of these small caterpillars are demolishing the roses -
any views on them (they eat a LOT very quickly).
Rose sawfly caterpillars.
They might be rose sawfly larvae. I don't think they're caterpillars
at all.
If they are sawfly larvae, you don't want them.
No indeed I do not.
I had heard the term "defoliant" but didn't know what it looked like
until now!
I've seen them in action. I can't understand where it all goes, these things
can eat many times their body weight with no sign of any waste product.
