The Wall Brown Larvae.

With the milder weather continuing overnight I headed up the hill to do a short hunt for Wall Brown larvae, having found 6 so far throughout the Winter months, I was hoping to add to the tally.

One of the tussocks with 2 larvae produced again, but only one other of the original 6 was found.  However, a further 5 larvae were found bringing the grand total for the year up to 11 and a count of 8 today.

One of the larvae allowed close-up photos and another that was feeding on the outside of the tussock gave good in situ images.
