White Caterpillars - What Next???

If anyone knows the name of this creature found chomping away on my new Eureka Lemon, please let me know.


Mr Google wasn't much use...


There were 5 caterpillars on the tree but they were very smartly turned into chook food!

  2. I have named them bird poo too....you have to keep checking and get every one as they appear, because the caterpillars will have laid eggs on the leaves...which keep hatching.....
    They are so annoying...hope you get them all.
