Just as I thought we'd seen off the carrot fly - by planting next to the onions and watering the carrots every time they were thinned - along comes this: the carrot caterpillar.
I didn't even know there was such a thing. But there are ... and we have about a dozen of them. Luckily they don't appear to be doing much damage and they do look spectacular. And, if my research is correct, they're scarce, being members of the swallowtail family.
So they are now officially a feature and protected. The cats have been warned and Gypsy has promised not to sniff them. I'm not sure about Shelagh though:)
