    Has anyone else noticed the evil eye on the commas?
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I have dedicated my tomato bed to the butterflies this year. It's literally littered with butterfly poo.
    They love it.



    There are more to come, discovered this morning.


    That's a moth caterpillar and those are wasp pupae. Butterflies don't really bother with tomato plants as far as I know.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Thanks! Do you know what moth it could be? I checked so many butterfly caterpillars searching for the name of that one. I have a lot of Small white butterflies around that bed. I thought they are the culprit. 
    True, I’m learning how to identify these insects …. if there were not so many different types 😀

    I ♥ my garden.

    No @Fire. Commas don't look at you.
