<![CDATA[ As a follow up, I had another walk round the same trees this evening (6 days later). The torch revealed that the male Winter Moths were still present in good numbers but there was no sign of any females on the sycamores & oaks. The birches on the other hand, on which there were no moths 6 days ago now held good numbers of males plus a fair number of paired up females. Does this indicate that the larva mature at a slightly slower rate when feeding on birch? ]]>
