Does anyone have any idea what these grey caterpillars are eating my Dicentra solomon's Seal - not a veg I know but there is so much knowledge on here someone is bound to know. Here's hoping.

Dear Victoria, Solomon Seal is actually, Polygonatum, or do you mean it is on your Dicentra and your Solomon Seal?
Anyway it will be Solomon Seal Sawfly, these will need dealing with very quickly or they will strip the leaves in days, either spray or squash them.
