Found 2 2nd instar larvae of Broad-bordered bee hawk yesterday evening on Honeysuckle, first ones for the year. Now is a good time to record this species as the caterpillars leave very distinctive feeding damage on the leaves. They sit on the midrib of the leaf on the underside, and reach out from there to eat small round holes. If these are found, caterpillars are not normally far away and can be found by turning over the leaves. Something to do even if it is raining.

I have been finding a few Bryotropha terrella recently. Do you remember the ‘Scrobipalpa with spots’ at Dunwich Wood? I suspect that may have been one.
