Field Notes - I was shocked to find my acacia in pic 4 totally bare of leaves. looking for culprits I found 4 congo lines of caterpillars looking for more food. the numbers per line were 12-20 individual caterpillars. needless to say they did not survive my discovery. I am working hard to regret not this property despite weevils pink and greys and rabbits destroying a lot of new plantings. hungry caterpillars are the last thing I need. )-:
