The first of about 100 Vapourer moth eggs hatched today. I'll raise about 5 of these minute larvae indoors but the cocoon on which the eggs were laid will be tied carefully on a Hawthorn twig in the nearby wood.

Interested...
@koalagardens thanks, another has just emerged. Apparently they don’t all hatch at the same time so when I’ve got a few to 2nd instar (after 1st moult) the cocoon will be taken to the wood and tied to a twig.
