[bugboy]

Hello you clever bunch, found these two Geomatrid larvae on the same Sallow yesterday at Abbots Wood, any ideas?

Thank you in advance

Mottled Umber would be a good candidate for the first of these.

Hiya Buggy - green larva are often very tough to get to species level, and its always important to include length of any larva when requesting ID help. Not a lot of help otherwise I'm afraid, but among larval foodplant lovers of Knapweed there are several Pugs worth checking out.
