A caterpillar on the chard.

I found (I think) one of those caterpillars eating my pricked out schizanthus seedlings. Any idea what sort they are? Have I mullahed a prized being?

PS I think it was a tomato moth caterpillar so I don't feel guilty

Think mine was a Cabbage White - its the second one in a week.

Carrots and parsley from the poly tunnel. The parsley is growing back from a good pruning in January

This is cabbage white. https://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species....=brassicae
Still trying to find your caterpillar

Its curled up on the red chard stem, near where the leaf meets the stalk.

Think I found it. Not 100% sure

I'm 99% sure its a Large Cabbage White unfortunately - especially as the other  one I found had decimated my cabbage seedlings.
