Larval Life

A quick nose around in the garden this evening revealed a few larvae - like these:

Lacewing sp. - camouflaged in fragments of aphid skins etc

Early instar Yellow-tail

Early instar Vapourer

Blotch mine on silver birch - haven't worked it out yet

Some nice larvae there.

The miner on Birch looks like Ectoedemia occultella to me.
