A carrot from GH2
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

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

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

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