Slow

I've had a quiet weekend, recovering from the week. I haven't gone out, or done anything much. But I did notice this caterpillar as I was hanging out my washing:
Unknown caterpillar on a buddleia. I suppose it is not too surprising that a butterfly (or moth) might lay eggs on a butterfly bush, but it seems to be very late in the season for it to still be a caterpillar.  The temperature was only about 7 degrees when I took this photo, and neither the caterpillar nor I was moving very quickly.

While there are leaves about there will be caterpillars, we've had a citrus caterpillar on the lemon until a few days ago, and i discovered a tiny caterpillar on the coriander today. Hope you have a lovely week.
