Our garlic mustard is extremely invasive, having left all its natural predators at home when it crossed the ocean. Our FOs recognize it as a mustard and lay eggs on it but their caterpillars succumb to the powerful garlic mustard toxins. The garlic mustard spreads in bottomlands so upland FOs caterpillars survive on their usual feed.<br /><br />Any information on the survival of caterpillars on garlic mustard in your country?Bob and Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734648003161032938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-73796634770241174022015-04-19T12:52:23.312+01:002015-04-19T12:52:23.312+01:00Our orange tip in Connecticut (USA) is rare and ne...Our orange tip in Connecticut (USA) is rare and nectars on trap rock ridges.
