Grey Dagger

Without going into much detail a minor op on Friday and plenty of stitches has curtailed any activity over the last few days but a small number of Grey Dagger larvae were noted on Saturday. I have had these before and although I haven't checked I suspect they are feeding on the Japonica sp. that I planted a couple of years back (which was their chosen foodplant last time around). Will probably strip them bare but a fabulous looking caterpillar nevertheless.
