On the case again

Had a very productive trip to Fowlmead Country Park at the weekend with some great micro finds including more Metzneria aestivella, pupae this time.

Also plenty of Coleophora cases around including these three:

Coleophora conyzae on Common Fleabane

Coleophora pennella on Viper's Bugloss


Coleophora folicularis on Common Fleabane

Early stages: Coleophora follicularis

Another larval case, this time Coleophora follicularis, found on Hemp-Agrimony (Eupatorium) near Seaton Lakes, East Kent.

Another one that's not too hard to find as the feeding signs are very obvious.
