Abstract
Caterpillars of several insect species feed on the foliage of currants and gooseberry. Described here are the caterpillars of the magpie moth (Abraxas grossulariata (L.)) and three species of sawfly, i.e. the common gooseberry sawfly (Nematus ribesii (Scopoli)), the black currant sawfly (Nematus olfaciens Benson) and the pale spotted gooseberry saw-fly (Nematus leucotrochus Hartig).
