I was stopped in my tracks by a caterpillar - Ep 20

Zone11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. What could I do but not continue on with my video when I found a Looper caterpillar eating the very plant I wanted to dig out of my bog garden. It was the very plant I wanted to show you, because the plant had wrapped itself around my Iris and a Red River lily. SOO, what to do? I decided to make a longer video on my bog garden and how I ended up with IT instead of the pond I started out with. Now, I did try to find out what variety of Looper caterpillar it was, but after looking a hundreds of images on line, I could not find it. All I know is that it is a moth, and they are mostly brown in colour.

I love caterpillars, without them you do not have butterflies and moths.

I love moths I have a wild garden I let bugs eat but I do get mad at some if they gang up and attack my plant. Most just come nibble and move on. Except this year the slugs are eating a few (wet summer) I love foxglove plants but they don't return the next yr for me so I just plant it in pots.

I have heard it is a bad year for slugs. I suppose those slug traps made from pots might help. I must admit that i do nor, knock on wood, have soo many caterpillars that it bothers me.
