[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 5287142, member: 83588"] There's something to be said for being steward of an agrihovel ~ and it's reassuring to discover others. Currently experiencing caterpillar confusion: there's a goodly flutter of six-spot burnet moths, and also their dangerous looking yellow and black striped caterpillars which are guzzling marsh ragwort as though there'll be no tomorrow. Or so I thought ... ... before looking at photos of six-spot burnet moth caterpillars and realising the pattern on those aren't the same as the ones in field. The yellow and black caterpillars in the field have stripes that run around the girth of the body ... which makes them caterpillars of cinnabar moths?? How likely is it that both species are present in the same field? [/QUOTE]
