A couple of days ago I had to clear a load of caterpillars off the lemon
geraniums which have over-wintered under the car port.
Today I found the two lemon trees bound to each other leaf to leaf where
the leaves overlapped.
Again, little green caterpillars which use sticky webs to pull two bits of
a leaf or two leaves together.
At least - I think they were caterpillars.
Googling has turned up sawfly larvae which look much the same but have
more legs.
Need to go and look for some that I missed on first pass.

Last year was great for butterflies, so I suppose one follows t'other!
Those little green jobs are a total pain & do a lot of damage!
