Re: Larvae
Hi Andy,
If you are referring to PBF larvae I suspect the majority will have now pupated. Other fritillary species will still be at caterpillar stage, but all are very tricky. My 'local' (to you) knowledge is far from good, but I suspect you've already been looking in the best place with public access.
BWs, Neil

Re: Larvae
Thanks Neil suspected pbf may have done but not even found leaf damage, found moth larvae ok so got my eye in as with most cases it is just a case of persevering with it
thanks
Andy
