With that much damage on those plants, you have more than one caterpillar.

lazygardens,

please don't say that ... it took me a couple weeks to find that one ... was hoping he was just hungry :)

found some more this morning on the spinach and our turnips. ugh

BT works wonders. Harmless to humans and pets :)

BT - also prevents butterflies by killing their larvae.

I had very few problems with caterpillars in the bed that was covered by bird netting: the common moths and butterflies couldn't get through the mesh to lay eggs on the plants.

Ugh, sorry to see the damage. I'd be tempted by Bt as well since you've probably already got a bunch of these (sorry), but I like Lazy's idea of some netting on your next crop.

Let us know what you do and how it works out. Great pics as usual by the way.

Good luck!
