What eats rhubarb leaves?
Went down the allotment today, and found that the leaves on just one
of our five rhubarb plants had been stripped to the ribs! No slime trails,
footprints or droppings as a clue, so any ideas on what it was?
I'd suggest caterpillars, but isn't it a bit early?
No, you are correct it is caterpillers but I am not sure which moth
species they belong to
