Photo of a toadflax moth caterpillar on the flower of an otherwise bare toadflax plant. The caterpillar is black with pale green bands across its back, with yellow stripes lengthways down its back. The plant is a spike stripped of leaves with a cluster of purple flowers at the top. The flowers look like they’ve been nibbled as well.
I took a picture of a caterpillar and used my phone to identify it. It got it bang on.
It’s the caterpillar of a toadflax moth on a toadflax plant that it has stripped most of the leaves off.
How satisfying.
