Cat's nest on nettles in June
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2024 9:38 am
Hi Folks,
I'm having difficulties identifying this cat. I was back in Leicester recently this month of June and found several caterpillar nests in close proximity on nettles. I had previously discovered Small Tortoiseshell cats in exactly the same place and conditions but these apparently are not Small Tortoiseshell. I think I have eliminated other possible users of nettles. Could this be a moth cat? Thanks for any clues.
