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.

I had a couple in the Westleton Common area on Sunday 1st July – both early instar but there were also signs of larvae that would suggest later instars.

  • Tunstall Forest on Tuesday 26/6 – in the White Admiral area
  • Rendlesham Forest on Thursday 27/7 – at the eastern end of the old Woodbridge Airfield

Larvae were still small but easy to find once I’d located the honeysuckle
