Well that's interesting! I wonder if blackbirds get the caterpillar from under the leaves? I know they eat grubs in the soil. @ligayagardener might know? I tend to use the beer method. About 4on, stand in garden with beer, and pluck the caterpillars from the broccoli. Haha .. no the only think I know to do is net them so the moths or butterflies don't lay them in the first place! Grrrr... ***Shakes fist at broccoli munchers

I know 'tits' catch a lot of caterpillars when they make a nest. I have a nest box in our backyard which has a nest almost every year.
But it's autumn now and they will start making their nests in spring.
These tits I mean (own photo).
aw, birds are such good peat controllers!!
They're pretty opportunistic!
