What’s eating my parsley?

Hello my gardening friends! I need your help with something. I just don’t know what is eating my parsley!! I have looked for insects and have looked for caterpillars and I don’t think it is a fungal infection. It is definitely a biting insect! HELP!! I am losing both my parsley bushes and they take so long to grow.

Look at the stalk of the parsley – it is being chewed!

If this bush is so damaged, surely I should be able to see what is eating it? Or could it be a night-time nastie??

I would really appreciate your help on this – I just don’t want to spray without knowing what I am treating!!

Thanks my gardening friends xxxxx

Enemies of the Garden

Grasshopper or Locust

I spent the day in the garden – not gardening – but taking photo’s of all I see. I am looking through the lens of  my camera and using my hubby’s macro lens. Wow! You cannot believe what we miss with the naked eye. Here are some shots of the pests in my garden. The Grasshopper thingy was happily eating the leaves of my Quince tree. It could be a locust, so I will have to do some research on it. Do you know what is it?
