Our babies are growing!

Just thought I would share with everyone our beautiful little Puss Moth caterpillars that were kindly donated by Graeme Smith then subsequently the eggs were baby-sitted by Colin Plant!
They hatched on Tuesday 18th of June and are already into their second instar. They appear to like the selected Sallow species of tree we found right at the end of our bridleway, unfortunately we could only fine one tree, luckily it is a good mature one!

Here are a few pictures of them.
