The eating machine cometh.....

This is one of the little monsters I posted here http://365project.org/julienne1/365/2015-08-16 just over a week ago.... and they have grown rapidly on a delicious diet of my nasturtium plants (like the flower I posted yesterday http://365project.org/julienne1/365/2015-08-24 )
I do know they are pests - but who am I to grudge a few nasturtium plants in exchange for the pleasure of seeing the adult large white butterflies flitting around? I daresay there are many people who wouldn't agree though :)

Wonderful focus, detail, lighting and DOF, Julienne!

[Joan Morvinson]

Fantastic detail - all depends on how many cabbages you have to protect!!

[Peter Day]

Yes I am one of those people.

[Janiskay]

I agree. If we would stop killing the caterpillars we would see more butterflies.

[Rachel]

great shot!

Fantastic shot.Everything has to eat even caterpillars. They can be annoying if they are eating your veg. but flowers although pretty we don't need to live.

[Carla]

Fabulous shot. The best possible kind of pest

@jomo - I'm sure! If I were growing cabbages I might be a bit less philosophical ;)

[Julienne Jones]

@peterday - that sounded as if you have had bad experiences :)

[Julienne Jones]

@janiskay - yes I know, and from a personal point of view the more the better :)

[Julienne Jones]

@shirleybankfarm - I quite agree ... I haven't the heart to evict them when they are obviously enjoying the feast so much!

@susanalena @mrsrcg @carla42 @yeshanghai @shazzym - thanks for taking the time to look and comment :)

I am absolutely in agreement with you. I do not kill anything, every creature has just as much right to live as I do (I'm a veggie too! Lol!). Great shot.
