Re: Caterpillar Woes
Thanks folks! That does seem a pretty close ID by comparison with Google photos. I think I have seen such moths flying occasionally inside the greenhouses.

Caterpillar Woes
Can anyone identify this caterpillar please? It is shown upon a 2 3/4" pot and is about 4.5 cm long - about as big as they get. For the past two winters, my Mesembs and Tylecodons have been nibbled by a couple of dozen or so of these in north London greenhouses. Whilst they don't kill plants, t...

Re: Euro car parts molar clay

Re: Zone 6 Convention NW London Sunday 5th Sept 2021 Postponed
Dear Cactophiles, It was all organised - a cactus convention with three top speakers and great plant sales at Brunel University, Uxbridge - and we were about to start selling tickets.
