This time at Purdis Heath yesterday evening. I was collecting some foodplant to feed a couple of larvae I’m rearing at home when I spotted one on some leaves I’d picked. It’s still an early instar larva so I’d guess there’s still a window of opportunity for seeing further larvae. They feed up quite quickly, I’ve had the ones I’m rearing less than two weeks and one is almost full grown.

Two I’ve bred have already pupated, as you say very quickly in about 2 weeks. There may be the chance that the adults could emerge this year in August so worth keeping an eye on the pupae. An easy species to rear.
