Grow the nearby plants further away. Sorry. 'Couldn't resist. But, are you absolutely certain that it was caterpillar damage on the begonias. I had a similar experience this year. Was convinced it was caterpillar damage because of the droppings. 'Happened to be out at night and found the plants covered in big garden snails - making caterpillar like droppings! That, I considered to be sneaky. -- ned http://www.bugsandweeds.co.uk last update 24.08.2005 |

Caterpillars are usually pretty specific as to food plant - it's unlikely that they'll move from one plant to another unless both are favoured food plants. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |
