Suninfrance Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi Chris, if you are online, can you identify these moths and the caterpillar for me. Or anyone with a knowledge of moths and caterpillars please.[IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/suninfrance/Moth1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/suninfrance/WhiteMoth1-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/suninfrance/Caterpillar2a.jpg[/IMG]ThanksJan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The second one is a lacewing, isn't it?M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Aren't lacewings sort of green and almost transparent. I think it's some sort of ermine moth, but there are so many. We do have a spindle tree in our garden and it is smothered with Spindle Ermine caterpillars in the summer, but they have black spots on them I think.

Suninfrance Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks Chris.I got an invite to a website called Phanfare where you can display your photo albums as slide shows. I've created quite a few albums including a sort of wildlife one, and if you want to PM me with a private e-mail - I will send you an invitation to view the albums if you want. I will keep adding to it as the photos come along, but if you are interested, I am happy to send you the invite. You will however, have access to all my albums, but they are all pictures I want to share anyway.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
