Hi Kate our Honeysuckle has been covered with flowers this year and bumblebees, white tail mostly,they are pulling the flowers off to get to the nectar.I haven't seen any caterpillars as we get lot of birds in the borders.
Nondescript! Pah! This is one of the prettiest little moths in the garden. It also holds the record for having the greatest number of wings of any insect — 24 of them. Despite its 'common' name, it actually has 24 plumes, each based around one of the usual 6 reinforcing veins in its four wings. At rest it fans out the plumes into a delicate semicircle, beautifully mottled with a series of undulating chevrons. Lovely!

Help, my honeysuckle is being destroyed by orange-brown hairy caterpillars. What can I do?
