Went out today with Butterfly Conservation looking for larvae of Argent and Sable. Several spinnings were found on Bog Myrtle and Birch and even one on Sallow. The larvae were a mix of ages, with the one pictured below being probably last instar. Hopefully many will survive the winter and provide us with another good showing next year.
