🕸️ Spindle ermine moths are turning heads with their ghostly webs this spring, but don’t overlook the elusive small eggar caterpillars!
Find out more about these moths in our latest Species Data Chit-Chat: tverc.org/tverc-news/2...

2nd instar caterpillar. There are prominent stripes starting to appear diagonally down the green body.
1st instar larva. Most features are indistinguishable except for the prominent horn at the rear and prolegs.
So it's now day 10.
Of the 10 eggs that I had, 2 have not hatched (and I doubt they will), 4 died soon after hatching, 2 are still 1st instar caterpillars and 2 are easily double the size and I suspect already at the 2nd instar.

Day 1.
Oooh. I've got 3 hatchlings already!
The eggs were mostly transparent yesterday with a couple of opaque ones that were close to hatching. The remaining eggs have become opaque today. The L1 larvae are about 4mm in length.
