THIS picture of a caterpillar from the large white cabbage butterfly was taken by Star reader Michaela Nelson from Rainford.

She said: “This year I have tried to grow most of my plants and flowers from seed and my garden is full to the brim with lots of bees, butterflies and insects.

Never had caterpillars in my garden before and found five of these, so I am very happy indeed.”
