Overwintering Buttoned Snout at Wofferwood Common


 I was a bit surprised this morning to discover a Buttoned Snout on one of my kitchen cabinets. A new species for my list here and not a time of year or setting that I expected to find one. 

I shall have to check the Hop plants in the garden more carefully next year.

  1. The larvae are very easily beaten from hop. Make sure you have something to catch whatever detaches and I've found a few gentle taps and they drop into the beating tray
