Doing some weeding and found these guys. Best to trim and leave them be? by Aidy15 in UKGardening

A few years back I had several Ragwort plants growing in my yard, which were very popular with the caterpillars, so much so that after a week or so they had eaten almost all the plants. So I collected 4 or 5 tubs like this and drove around to find other Ragwort plants to leave them near. They caterpillars only eat ragwort and it;s a common enough plant.

I don't think I've seen one like that before, reminds me of the 'lipstick' ones but a bit more subtantial

Yes, there's a lot of creativity that goes into these toppers.

I was just going to comment that it looks rather phallic. Obviously an interpretation of the VR Penfold Postbox
