Geranium/Pelargonium leaves

[glenbar]

Has anyone any idea what is eating my geranium leaves. I have never known this before as they are quite tough and hairy and I thought insects didn't like that kind of leaf. I have looked but simply cant find anything, but the plants are ruined really now.

Even though you have looked, if you look really thouroughly you will find a small green catterpillar the same colour as the foliage and very difficult to see.

Thanks for that. Its dark now but will look first thing tomorrow. Never encountered it before and have grown them for years.
