Abseiling Caterpillars
Dear Phill,
They may be the larvae of Tortrix moths, but there are so many types and my book doesn't show them all. I have encountered two tortrix caterpillars: one buried into my rose buds, the other made itself at home eating my Hebes (they web a leaf together, so you can't see them easily. I believe one of the others is the infamous Codling moth caterpillar, of apple-munching fame. I appreciate this is a bit vague, but hope it gives you a starting point.

Hi All I noticed these caterpillars making their way down silken threads from one of my trees. http://pageperso.aol.fr/Penphill/caterpillars.jpg Can anyone put a name to them and what they eventually turn into please. Phil ********* "turn into"? - where wuz youse dragged up then , Eh, - like, wot ah mean. "Transmogrify", if you jolly well please!, - to change, - as if by magic. It's plain youse wasn't dragged up in my old alma mater, - Borstal!. Doug. ******** WOW! "Transmogrify"! Well I was going to use that word but felt it might require some translation so I just opted for the tried and tested "turn into" as I felt this was more comprehensible. WOOPS! Sorry....understandable. The same goes for the possibly more correct "metamorphose into". I am sorry about that but you see..I have never been to Borstall. Is it a nice town? Phil |
