Look what I found on my nasturtiums!
Newly-hatched caterpillars of the Large White Butterfly. Looks like they've already eaten a lot!Misty started Camera Critters.
Edited to show another I found later. This one is much bigger, and can do more damage. Oh dear!
It's a slightly smaller leaf, but the caterpillar is big enough to show its markings now. Nasturtiums make a lovely salad for these critters.

Little ****'s!
I prefer the hairy one...
For something so small they don't half eat a lot! If I ate that much I'd be as big as a house... my husband has just told me "I am as big as a house" :)
Great photograph for this week's theme. I hope those caterpillars not going to eat all the flowers
And they will eat more...
They have been busy, haven't they? Excellent photo.
funny and capitvating picture
Ooops!!!
Oh my gosh! A little clump of caterpillars. That is just so cute. Amazing how they managed to eat so much since they are so tiny.
For such small things, they have huge and destructive appetites!
If you would like to visit my Camera Critters, they are here and here.
I would never have spotted those. Not sure I would havde known what they were either. Excellent thinking ans shot.
I also prefer the hairy one ! it looks as if it is starving, lol !
'Nasty' little critters to eat the Nasturtiums!
Great shot!
i have a soft spot for nasturtiums so am glad to see them here... those caterpillars looked cute too! i love caterpillars...
I hope these little critters don't kill your plant. Great series!
I guess these caterpillars doesn't mind the hot taste of nasturtiums!

Wonderful close-up shots of the caterpillars. (And yes... I think they are enjoying their Nasturtium salad!)
They sure cause a lot of damage!!! They must be busy all day long...
