April 7th, leaves are relatively fresh, and yet many trees already have substantial herbivore damage.

Another lovely Nasturtium.
I wasn't the only one enjoying them. Loads of large white butterfly caterpillars, which is one of the main reasons for growing Nasturtiums (the most important reasons are they're beautiful and they're tasty).

We've just found the first of our Mullein moth (Cucullia verbasci) caterpillars, starting to munch their way through our Common Mullein (Verbascum thapsus). Always satisfying to see our plants being put to such good use!

*** UPDATE ***
Just checked some non-flowering ragwort rosettes we have nearby. I can happily report an additional 30+ caterpillars! Not sure we've got enough ragwort for them all though!
