Larval cases of Bankesia conspurcatella

Recently added to Section 7 of the Environment (Wales) Act, its good to see Bankesia conspurcatella persists at Bridgend Station in spite of the jet wash regime! These larval cases are not very photogenic, admittedly. #mothsmatter #teammoth

It turns out I should have just asked ChatGPT - H.S. Robinson and his brother G.S Robinson published the design in 1952.

Thanks Clare, you've given me an earworm!

Is it really true that nobody knows who invented or gave their name to the Robinson Moth trap? #teammoth

Week 1 of my first GMS in a couple of years produced 7 moths of 6 soecies this Oak Nycteoline being the highlight. #GardenMothScheme #TeamMoth

Thanks Annie. Mine had a darker head than the one illustrated on UK moths, but that might be because its not in the final instar.

I'm rubbish with caterpillars- anyone know what this is? It's on Hart's tongue fern but may just be hiding there.
