Early Stages: more on Coleophora serratella

Following up on the previous post, now managed to find Coleophora serratella larvae in their new, spring cases:


Coleophora serratella - overwinter and spring cases
The discarded first case can be seen towards the top of this image and the larva can be seen in the mine

Coleophora serratella - spring case


Coleophora serratella - constructing spring case

I observed this one for some time while it was in the process of constructing its new case.
