These are the critters. So far I must of picked off 3x this number. Anyone identify the species?
Do they normally only attack new bushes or also mature bushes?
Once again thanks all as I was about to dig everything up. Maybe I still will and go with some of the suggestions on here.

We have quite a few box plants (play around with topiary)
Have had caterpillars in past mostly cleared up by local flock of sparrows!
To my surprise other day saw sparrows on aquilegia flowers turned out they were clearing a greenfly infestation.

Certainly horticultural soap and water mixes are good to stop aphids the idea is it stops them breathing.
Can't do much harm to try.
I've had success getting rid of garden critters with Nematodes in the past albeit they weren't box caterpillars https://www.greengardener.co.uk/pro...HT_T5d2gqGsX3bTWlm9uvlTodgxS3DUhoCaOwQAvD_BwE
Thems the ones - at that size they will start to uses the silk and bind leaves together. They will attack any age box. I think your neighbours is something else as box is not yellow.
And leaf is different.
Ok looks like I’ve wasted approx £100 and 12 months on the wrong type of plant. Guess i should’ve posted on here first.
Once again thanks for all the help.
