Maybe, that would have been a possibility if this frozen puddle was not in a field that did not have this hole in the ground about a couple a months ago, but I could have just overlooked it. I did see tadpoles in a pond last autumn, but they were nearly full grown, starting to grow legs.Susie wrote:I would imagine that the tadpole was left over from last year and was either a late developer or one of those which never does develop because of some fault with it. I've had buds on my sallow since last autumn as soon as the leaves dropped off but they haven't got any bigger during this cold snap. Come the warm weather I am sure they will start bursting and then it will be covered with all manner of flying things feeding on the catkins.
Well done. The adults should emerge in April (I saw one in March last year though so keep checking them). This should tell you all you need to know. http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species. ...

I went back recent and the area is now a flooded pond like place, all cuckoo flowers gonebut at least I saved a few of the caterpillars. BTW, when should the adults hatch out of the pupae? There is another area I can release the adults in and they should survive fine as there is a small colony of Orange-Tip there
