    Butterfly, looks as if it is on a nettle so shouldn't be a problem. If they are on food crops squash them!!!

      Yeah, agree with Roitelet. I didn't know that butterflies laid eggs on nettles, but have just googled it and apparently they do!

          Personally I would keep an eye on them so I can "thin out" the caterpillars if they look like taking over and ruining the plant.
