While gardening this afternoon, this small micro was spotted landing on a leaf. I managed to catch it and take it's portrait - Epermenia chaerophyllella.
Also found earlier in the day was a small caterpillar. It was not in the easiest of places to get a photo, so the shot below is rubbish. However, hopefully there is sufficient detail to enable identification - I thought it might be a Drinker.

I think you'll find that's a Scarlet Tiger caterpillar, Steve.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, you are absolutely correct - a Scarlet Tiger caterpillar. It was right by some comfrey, which I see is a favoured food plant.
