Signs of life in the garden. My first caterpillar this year, it's an Angle Shades. I've never seen such a small, (short) one before, (about 1 inch). It's still growing. Mature Angle Shades cats have a small, upright oval mark on almost every segment. The marks are off-white, with a red-brown line round them, just above the white line near their feet.This one only has two ovals, one near the tail, the other near the head. A juvenile Angle Shades caterpillar is a first for me.
It's by the bell push on our gate, I hope it finds shelter and survives the winter.
