So over the last couple of years, box tree caterpillars descended en masse and destroyed our box hedge - which this spring we pulled out and replaced with a pittosporum hedge that ought to be resistant.
I've just noticed a tonne of the same caterpillars on nasturtiums throughout the garden. Not a big problem as nasturtiums are cheap and easy and self-seeding here. But am I now cursed with these caterpillars destroying other plants one by one every year? I had assumed they would off-fuck in the direction of someone else's box.
