| Six-spot Burnet (May 2015) |
In between showers yesterday I checked my introduced Bird's-foot Trefoil for moth larvae and was pleased to find five Six-spot Burnet larvae and two of
Coleophora discordella. The plants were introduced about 6 years ago from a brownfield site which was about to be developed and I have seen
C. discordella larvae every year since, although in small numbers only. Six-spot Burnet and also Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet were both recorded in the garden for the first time in 2014 (I also have Red Clover and Meadow Vetchling for the latter).
