Neil Edwards post me an image of a very large caterpillar he found yesterday crossing the car park at Penyrheol Comp. in Gorseinon, it being a Goat Moth larva, presumably looking for a place to pupate. We have trapped this species twice in the garden, but i never thought that they would have been breeding this close (200m) and in such unpromisng looking habitat (i.e. school fields lined with a thin belt of willow and oak scrub).
