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.
Down at Watermead a
Knot Grass Moth (Acronicta rumicis) caterpillar is finishing off the last few bramble leaves.


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?
