Wow - did you see the photos on the blog of the bug attack! I'm glad we don't have insects that size in Australia! (although we do have quite a few as brightly coloured!)
It's awesome that Richard was on hand to get photos of the culprit - despite the damage, I have to say that it was a visually interesting "assault". Heilsa for King Richard IV!
Now there's some replanting begging to be done ...
