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.
