        All about the health of my ivy<\/span><\/h3>\n

        Ivy is rarely attacked by parasites. What's more, in the event of infestation, it is generally hardy enough to avoid irreversible damage. Potential pests include various caterpillars.<\/p>\n

        Caterpillars on ivy<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Many butterfly caterpillars develop on ivy. Among the most common are :<\/p>\n

          \n
        • the carnation budworm, an olive-green caterpillar<\/li>\n
        • the larentia caterpillar, light green in colour<\/li>\n
        • the elderberry moth, sulphur yellow in colour<\/li>\n
        • the diamond moth, brownish grey in colour<\/li>\n
        • the Moor, a greyish-brown noctuid moth<\/li>\n
        • the black-banded argus, a green caterpillar<\/li>\n
        • ...<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
           <\/div>\n
          Caterpillars can devour leaves, flower buds or flowers. But their damage is not usually serious.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
