Red Robin plant

my red Robin plant is infested with what look like baby catapillars, the leaves have shrivelled and are folded and eaten. When unfolded saw a little catapillar and larvae. I have cleaned it with washing up liquid as best as I can and removed some leaves, but what should I do

    Nothing. It's what caterpillars do  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    You just have to think of it that without the caterpillars having something to eat, we wouldn’t have any lovely moths or butterflies!
