Lackey eggs
A return visit to Lapland Farm this afternoon produced another fairly typical find while searching blackthorn for Brown Hairstreak eggs, this being a Lackey "ring". The female moth lays her batch of whitish eggs in a black gunge which glues them to a stem of the food-plant for over-wintering, making them look rather like a piece of snake-skin.
