Psyche casta

Following on from Nigel's post last month, I found this on a rose leaf this afternoon whilst dead heading and assume that it is also Psyche casta. c1cm long. I would appreciate confirmation.



And another? that I'd noticed attached to a plant pot a couple of weeks ago that hadn't really registered.

  1. Hi Adam,
    I would say so. There is an exceedingly rare species, Psyche crassiorella, with a similar case which is known only from five or six counties in the SE of the UK (but including VC22 Berkshire).
