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?

Large Cabbage white caterpillar

That was my thought Tee Gee but your example has stronger colours as I thought the original should have had... perhaps washed out by strong sunshine...

More likely the colouring captured by my camera or at best a bit of both!

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.
Not mad, just out to mulch!
