Depressaria daucella larvae continued

Thanks to Steve Hind and Mel Bellingham for alerting me to these and Colin Well's partner Lynne for showing me what to look for I found hundreds of spinnings and many larvae of Depessaria daucella at Burton Mere RSPB

... it was me!! It was me!!!!! - maybe.

Anyhoots, I was at Flint Marshes yesterday (6th June) and there were some daucella there too - probably less than 10 but also a lot smaller than any I'd previously seen elsewhere.

Cheers,
Steve
