        hate them too - worse still, I hate caterpillars! Terrified of the things!


        I'm scraping eggs off the nasturtium and pumpkin at front of house and scraping eggs off the kohl rabis and scallop-shaped squash out back! I'm seiged by the beggers!

                  The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

                    There are 100s of Cabbage Whites around ... on the lotty, at home ... I am catching as many as possible and er, dispatching them swiftly.

                        Given the amount of time they spend licking themselves, they probably do....

                        But perhaps only to themselves

                          I don't really mind anything living in the garden.

                          Shows your garden and it's balance is healthy.

                          And they're beautiful.

                            I disagree... there are far too many of them*, and nothing that eats them (except the odd cat)

                            * I would much rather have clouds of Peacocks, or Tortoiseshells. The Cabbage White is thriving because we now grow so much rapeseed (it's a brassica)

                              Yes, the little wretches were 'doing it' all over my garden yesterday. At least being white they are easy to spot, it's those darn caterpillars - fancy making them the same colour as the leaves they are eating .
