The message
from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:

I hate using any pesticide but desperate conditions demand desperate
solutions. The sawfly will also attack other plants, Solomon's Seal
and some
ribes.


Not to mention nasturtiums.


Is THAT what they are!


I remember them from my childhood, hadn't made the connection beause I
didn't know anything else then.


I think so - the pattern and colours of the caterpillars seems to say
so. They also have a go at horseradish, if memory serves.
