Hi Ya,
Going though piccies I found this one of caterpillars. Can anyone identify said items. I took it a couple of years back and forgot all about it Thanks

Well, they look interesting.... they are in large enough groups to be "cabbage" whites... but wouldn't expect that amount of "web"... are they a lemon/pale green with dark spots?

They look like sawfly larvae.

I agree. They are clearly not on any type of brassica, which does not rule out cabbage whites but certainly makes it less likely.
