Wall Brown larva.

[badgerbob]

On March 28th I was searching for Wall Brown larva when I found one that was lacking the white line along the side. It was also a much brighter green than the usual Wall Brown larva.
2 days later I found it again, but this time it had started to pupate. This of course explains why it was looking different to the usual.

Below are photos of a 'normal' larva photographed the same day as well as the mature individual for comparison.

Unfortunately, the story did not end happily as around an hour later the pupating larva was being eaten by a Wolf Spider!!
