| Re: caterpillers
I don't know if it's usual to see hairy caterpillars this time of year. Since I got a headlamp for Christmas I've been in the garden most evenings and have seen loads of caterpillars, mainly Large yellow Underwings and Angle shades (green+brown). I've never seen any during the day though. They seem to be happy with the fresh green foliage from the spring bulbs and foxgloves. So there are plenty around which I'm surprised about - but this is only my first year observing nature in the garden so haven't much experience to draw on. |
