| |  caterpillars eating my roses!
I seem to have acquired a small colony of these caterpillars on my climbing rose. Before I oust them, can someone identify them for me, please?
They are approx 12-15mm long, brown head, and speckled grey, black and yellow body.
Apologies for the poor photos, it was raining quite hard at the time! 
Many thanks
Hmmm.... I don't know what's gone wrong, but I only seem to be able to post this one image  - there are two more in my picture file to help someone identify them |
