This looks like being a phenomenal year for Small Eggar. I noticed 2 webs as I joined the A358 this morning on my way to work. I investigated further on my way home and after returning with a camera found at least seven webs and possibly nine. All were on the south facing hedge and the larvae were in various stages of development from the large ones pictured to some tiny thread like ones. The webs were all on low new growth Blackthorn. If you have any time this weekend and are near large Blackthorn concentrations it is well worth checking to see how many we can add to the total found this year. I am going to check out Merryfield. Happy hunting.
