A small group of us carried out some socially-distanced leaf-mining at BBOWT's Dancersend nature reserve in Bucks yesterday. A very good variety of mines were on offer and many of them still had active larvae, including the four Ectoedemia species shown below:
 |
Ectoedemia rubivora on bramble, 17th October
|
 |
Ectoedemia angulifasciella on dog rose, 17th October
|
 |
Ectoedemia atricollis on hawthorn, 17th October
|
 |
Ectoedemia minimella on birch, 17th October
|
Our searching wasn't limited to mines (nor just lepidoptera for that matter). A few caterpillars were seen as well, including the following:
 |
Knot Grass on bramble, 17th October
|
 |
Nut-tree Tussock on beech, 17th October
|
 |
Coxcomb Prominent on hazel, 17th October
