    have put them in an air-holed container with some lettuce.

    If they eat the lettuce, all well and good

    If they eat the container, I'm calling in the exterminators!

    Could they be meal moths
    I would like to be a glow-worm.
    A glow-worm's never glum.

    Hi

    sorry picture is very blurry - try looking on this site http://www.whatsthatcaterpillar.co.uk/, you can also post pictures and they will ident them for you. Suggest a clearer picture tho, try putting them on a darker surface perhaps?

    My suggestion would be some kind of moth lava.

    Get a dustpan and brush, sweep them up and toss them on a patch of a lawn out of the way. The birds will love you for it.
