Oak Eggar
Earlier this year Ched George found an Oak Eggar caterpillar in Kent and brought it home to rear through. The adult, a female, emerged a few days ago and on Monday afternoon Ched took her to Hell Coppice in Bernwood Forest to try and "assemble" a local male. This was accomplished quite quickly and the (rather battered) male is shown below before being released. Ched now has a plentiful supply of eggs!
