Early stages: Coleophora lineolea

Successfully targeted Hedge Woundwort (Stachys sylvatica), one of the foodplants of the case-bearing larvae of Coleophora lineolea yesterday.

The feeding signs are quite obvious from above, betraying the larval cases below, and don't take too long to find at all.

One to look out for.
