Like many people I am struggling to find food for the caterpillars I have. I found a cluster of very large Swanplants beside one of the local walkways. I did notice the plants were pretty much untouched with no resident caterpillars but thought wasps must be to blame for that. I collected some large branches to take home and keep in water to feed the caterpillars I have, which i have done successfully before. After a couple of days I realised that although they were still alive they were not eating any of the leaves. I have now taken them off but I wondered if anybody else had come across swan plants that the caterpillars would not eat. One of the curious things is that they stayed on the branches while clearly slowly starving to death.
