| | | Grey caterpillar with black head
There are loads of little grey caterpillars on a plant just outside my front door. They are quite thin, up to about an inch long and have black heads. They do not seem to be furry/hairy.
Can anyone figure out from that description what they are please?!
Afraid I don't even know what type of plant it is they're on, but they have totally decimated it!
My housemates and I are keen to follow their progress and see what they turn in to!
Thanks. |

I Googled sawfly, but can't find any pictures that look even remotely like the ones on our plant. :-S |
