Sorry if you meant looking today. Firs...Hello Ben,<br /><br />Sorry if you meant looking today. Firstly, I can't be that lucky and I am damn sure that the site I was at is not special.<br /><br />I simply parked up in a layby at the roadside on the fairly busy A426 that runs south from where I live in Whetstone to Lutterworth. I looked at one big hawthorn for about 40 minutes and found various larvae quite easily, including several coleophorids which were all on flower buds for some reason. The Pistol Case-bearer was found within a quick 5 minute check of another hawthorn hedge down a county lane (the same spot where I watch Little Owls and found the dead Barn Owl) - again not a remarkable site. I was actually looking for T. advenella larvae as I wanted to get a photo.<br /><br />I think the only skill required (aside from eyesight) is patience!<br /><br />Good luck.Skevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601888498478097564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-25298782055964659072010-05-13T00:36:45.202+01:002010-05-13T00:36:45.202+01:00Hi Mark
