"Protect caterpillars as UK’s moth population plummets, urge charities"
#UK #UnitedKingdom #Animals

I don't mow the "lawn" that often (it's dead most of the year anyway), but I need to prune the weeds a couple of times each winter.

spotted these today too. i think this is a silk web of the Ermine moth caterpillars.
this is on black thorn. they must be very young at the moment.

The moth, Drepanogynis insciata, whose body and wing margins look as though they’ve been stained with red wine, was thought to be extinct. The species hadn’t been recorded […]
