Help please! Parsnips being attacked
Hi
My parsnips are being eaten by some caterpillars, they are covering the leaves in a web. To add insult to injury, they seem to be killing the baby ladybirds!
What can I do?
Thank you

Having looked on the internet, I believe they are called webworms but they look like caterpillars. Not sure how to get rid of them though.

The only advice I've found is that you have to remove ALL the larvae by hand.I'm not cynical I'm realistic
