Vaughat Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I've just found 2 bushes which have been stripped of all their leaves by what I think are Cinnabars caterpillars (Yellow and black striped and surrounded by what looks like spiders webs ). There are other bushes which they have just started to attack - my question is what can I do to get rid of them ?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battypuss Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Catch one, stick it in a jar and take it to the nearest Garden Centre. Make throat-cutting motions. Read the instructions carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughat Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thought I would update you,as I said the bushes were completely bare - all the leaves had eaten.When I looked more closely the caterpillars had all dropped to the base of the bush and were collected together in a web type sack - so I used an old fashioned and effective treatment - I squashed them all. To late for the bush but should save a couple of hundred moths bothering me this year. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
