Ffos-las caterpillar
Maggie James sent in a photo of this distinctive-looking caterpillar on hemlock water dropwort at the former open-cast coal site at Ffos-las, near Trimsaran in SE Carmarthenshire. An internet search suggests that it is the micromoth Depressaria daucella.

I've found a lot of these in the Llanelli area.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a few records from the Llanelli area but none very recent. Could you email me some sites and dates where you saw daucella please Paul.
ReplyDeleteI need to get my NRW colleagues looking out for it alongside our rivers too
