We will look out for more this year when we continue with the surveys.Oliver Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646862657692237097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283284400500701797.post-80517354951183169122015-02-18T00:02:41.235+00:002015-02-18T00:02:41.235+00:00Massive thanks for that information, Oliver.

I have a feeling you may be right and that it is an early stage of a weevil larvae, but I'll give it a proper examination tomorrow and report back.<br /><br />Interesting stuff either way - I never considered there to be such a convincing confusion species for C. woodiana on Mistletoe! <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BillBilly Dykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840933193238325733noreply@blogger.com
