Some of our insect friends have not quite received the message that Autumn is here. A quick root around in the bushes will reveal a whole host of creatures still in their larval stages. Here in my garden a Green Lacewing (Chrysopa carnea) larvae is still eating up the last aphids.
At Borough Hill Fort a Speckled Wood (Pararge aegeria) caterpillar is hunting for that last leaf to munch on.I wonder how many of these will survive the first frosts?
Down at Watermead a Knot Grass Moth (Acronicta rumicis) caterpillar is finishing off the last few bramble leaves.
