Pale versus Berger's Clouded Yellow

Post by Pete Eeles »

Thought you'all might like to see the attached - a photo of the larvae of Pale Clouded Yellow (hyale) and Berger's Clouded Yellow (alfacariensis) side-by-side. The adults are very difficult to tell apart - but the larvae are another matter, as you can see!

Cheers,
