Hmm, now that you have a first win, will it unleash the monster in us all for more trophies?....  It can get addictive.....

[karlooben]

Well done .  I've just got home from the lottie, and I set out to cut my lawn before having a nice relaxing soak in the bath .  Anyway, I cut the grass, then remembered, I hadn't put out the washing .  My line is right outside my conseratory door and a couple of feet beyond the line is a big bush.  I reached up to peg my first item, when I made eye contact with the mother of all catterpillers .  I've never seen one so big .  I shouted for my hubby to look at it, and he said, that's the first catterpiller we've ever had in the garden - no wonder, this one probably ate them all .  It was easily over 3 inches long.

wow thats big could not not find out what breed it was?

[philsmith1967]

take a look at the 'feeding marrows' thread - that one weighed 88lbs so if its near to your size you can get an approximate idea

[karlooben]

mine wasnt that big  but it must of been half that size .
