Sprawler(s)



I think that I have two Sprawlers this morning (my first of the year) but their difference unsettles me and I suspect that the one on the right, with the zebra legs, may be something else. Help appreciated - sorry to be dim. Incidentally, unlike Dave's nervous Sprawlers at Westcott, these were both in the trap, along with a Black Rustic, a Beaded Chestnut and three Caddis flies.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon

    Both are indeed Sprawlers, Martin. One very smart fresh example and the other looking as though it has been dragged through a hedge backwards. They soon lose some of their scales after a few nights out in these damp conditions.
