Moth larva 24 Feb

Post by Jack Harrison »

On lavender in garden. Not totally dormant - it was making small movements. Length fully stretched circa 3.5 cms. Colour reasonably accurate in photo.

Moth Larva identification

Post by COLIN BAKER »

Looks very much like the larva of the moth "Angle Shades to me,which seems to be the first one I encounter in my garden each year.In fact I found one an hour ago in my Bay Laurel bush.
Hope this helps.

Cheers Colin
