    Thanks Dovefromabove. That certainly looks an interesting choice, and preferable to stingers. image

    "If you want to grow a food plant for caterpillars why not grow Hedge Garlic"

    Good advice. Not in pots obviously, but it should self-seed around the garden in the weedier areas. We have quite a lot in the garden here naturally. Orange-tip eggs/caterpillars are generally present on quite a high percentage of the plants, and are very easy to find.

    Just do nothing to an area of ground.  They'll arrive!  The problem is stopping them!
