Recent stacks
A couple of stacks: The larva is a recently hatched Wall Brown (3mm long and unfortunately it moved slightly so the stack is not perfect). The ova is, as I'm sure you all recognise, a Silver-spotted Skipper. This was found at Aston Rownant in precisely the kind of location described by Prof. Jeremy Thomas in Butterflies of Britain and Ireland - a small, unchewed tuft of Fescue, growing in south-facing depression, with bare earth all around. There were three eggs on this one tuft!
