Caterpillars - The White Ermine Moth

⇨

First seen on Saturday 24th August 2024 at Druridge Pools

The White Ermine Moth as the name suggests, has white wings with black spots, like the heraldic ermine colour - the winter coat of a stoat. It is a night flying moth, so unlikely to be seen during a visit to Druridge. The caterpillars feed on many plants, but especially on nettles.
