I was privileged for my cat to find a privet moth caterpillar. This is the biggest domestic moth in the southern part of the country…
So large I compared it against a pint glass
And 2p
And finally a profile shot
It was found on an ash tree I’m looking to get rid of, so I don’t mind this one having a snack!
I'm Tim, a 29yr old ex-Allotmenteer. My wife and I used to have a small 5 rod plot in South Essex where we grew all manner of veg. I'm also involved in brewing the odd keg of beer.
Recently we bought a house with a 65ftx30ft garden, which we're converting into a mini orchard and veg beds. The entire transformation is happening at the moment and being chronicled by a timelapse camera.
The hope is to introduce chickens next year into the orchard to allow them free range.
