Default Butt ugly

These look like a cross between a Caterpillar and a Sultana, and most definitely has a face only a mother could love.

In fact its so ugly it could make an Onion cry

But the main question is "What the are they".








Best regards Paul

Obviously caterpillars - using their own frass (technical term for excrement) for camouflage by the look of it. Good captures and well spotted.

Yes i totally agree with you YUK!, they were nice to capture, but i want my lilies.

Now i found out they will eventually turn into a Scarlet Lily Beetle, so i had to destroy them all otherwise all my Lily's would eventually kick the bucket.
So i cut of the stems and used my flame wand on them killing them all i think, i will keep an eye on the other lilies.



Best regards Paul
