Emergence-y, Emergence-y...

Apologies for dodgy title but every day seems to bring new emergence from the wealth of larvae, cases and pupae collected over the last few months, some of the latest include:

Acrobasis consociella: http://kentmicromoths.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/early-stages-acrobasis-consociella.html


Agonopterix assimilella: http://kentmicromoths.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/weekend-round-up-good-variety.html


Coleophora solitariella: http://kentmicromoths.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/fruitful-dusking-forays.html


Yponomeuta cagnagella

Early stages: Acrobasis consociella

Acrobasis consociella

The feeding signs and spinning of the larvae of this member of the Pyralidae are strikingly obvious right now.


I found this one and dozens more on just a handful of young Oak trees at Fowlmead Country Park near Deal, East Kent, 10th June.
