Bath time
After a business meeting in Cirencester, I decided to pop into the
Wiltshire Wood where I've been following the fortunes of several Purple
Emperor larvae. I'm pleased to say that most of those I've been
monitoring are still there, although most have moved a little way from
where I first found them. The changing colours of the leaves is starting
to make them slightly more visible and so, as described so well in
Matthew's article in British Wildife (Vol. 23. No. 5, June 2012):
"Adventures with caterpillars: the larval stage of the Purple Emperor
butterfly", I'm really looking forward to seeing the larvae change colour
also as they move into position on a branch to overwinter.
