A decent crop of Teasel this year to check those pesky Endothenia gentianaeana/marginana bums for "anal combs". I've only found gentianaeana so far here in Wimbledon and Putney Commons. #MothsMatter #TeamMoth - ThreadSky

I had a very pleasant couple of hours trying to get the right angle and magnification to see the anal comb or not. Not as it turned out , I had a phone full of caterpillar bum pics 😀

I check mine under my stereo microscope, then pop them back on the head, bag them up, and breed through. I managed a cracking adult shot a couple of years ago.
