Damage limitation

The nasturtiums were planted around some runner beans and the caterpillars were having a feast leaving the beans alone.

Great close up! And happy to see that something in your garden is working well! How does it go with the squirrels?

[vonski]

Great plan

[Mags]

Sounds like a good way to still have beans!

[Babs]

Good thinking. Hope they stay away from the beans.

Beautiful composition and contrasting colours.

[Lis Lapthorn]

A very attractive caterpillar, nevertheless !!

[Diana]

Now that was a clever move! Amazing that they flower in summer where ours flower in winter

[Susan Wakely]

@ingrid01 this was in a garden that i was visiting. Squirrels have been quiet. Possible because there is lots of other food for them or hubby’s baffle has worked.

What a fine close up - and an excellent idea re the protection of the beans!

Nice close up! Love the colour.

[Cazzi]

Great way to save the beans!

[Carole Sandford]

Nice close up. I don’t think I’ve seen a caterpillar for a very long time!

[Kathy]

Shame to loose the pretty flowers but in the scheme of things, the beans are more important.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot and some great focusing here. I like all the details. So everybody happy now, no? Fav.

Great diversion from the beans!
