New Method of Finding Larvae...

Today, in the steep-sided wooded valley of the River Frome between Cirencester and Stroud, in it's-not-supposed-to-be-Purple-Gloucestershire, I became the first person (surely!) to find an Emperor caterpillar whilst having a pee! Completely by accident, but I always say: Look and thou shalt find, and I looked...

So, never mind Dangle Leafing, we now have Dangle Willy....


On a more serious note, Storm Bert (what fool named it that?) could well end the 2024 Dangle Leaf Season prematurely.
