These are nice with the cream in the leaf Spritz. One of the large moth caterpillars use to eat the leaves of my solomons seal during the early summer.

I have been warned to watch for sawfly... I wouldn't know one if I saw it (HAHA) ...I suppose they eat the edges of the leaves??

The caterpillars were huge and a greeny colour I think they had a very fat body and almost stood up one end.

Spritzhenry just saw a fly
as it flew by
that old saw fly
He saw the fly
fly on his plant
Oh no it can't
said he as it flew by
that old saw fly.

Saw flies, grrrrrr, they will devour the entire leaves if left unchecked. You can remove the grubs by hand - not a pleasant job though :(

YIKES!!! I really, really don't want to 'see a sawfly' - or its offspring!

Linda, You'll have to alter the 'he' in your brilliant poem to 'she', please!

Oh, dear - I am beginning to wonder why I planted these. :-(

Sorry Spritz got carried away in the writing...........but I'm back now......
Think positive it will be moth caterpillars and not the sawfly. It was moth caterpillars on mine.
