The second was made on 5/9/05 by Jon, who found a larval case on Mugwort flowers collected from Pembrey to feed his batch of Wormwood larvae collected at Ian's site. sambbryohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371859974181157877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-20067939738267717122015-09-24T23:28:10.072+01:002015-09-24T23:28:10.072+01:00Yes that's a good point Dave - I did spend som...Yes that's a good point Dave - I did spend some time looking for it along the banks of the Taff in Gabalfa and Llandaff last year without success (though the density of Mugwort here is lower than at Pengam). Ian - thanks for the info on the Carms records. Your comment highlights the perilous existence of species such as this which are primarily associated with brownfield sites.GMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759152282751126808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-36756712082674219942015-09-24T18:55:12.589+01:002015-09-24T18:55:12.589+01:00I believe that it was Barry Stewart who recorded t...I believe that it was Barry Stewart who recorded the Carms specimens. I`d found wormwood caterpillars at a brownfield site at Trostre, Llanelli (now sadly built over with the Scarlets rugby stadium) and told Barry, who then also found other moth `goodies`.Ian Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197132818965237430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-53339292574772550432015-09-24T14:10:42.661+01:002015-09-24T14:10:42.661+01:00I have spent a fair bit of time over the years sco...I have spent a fair bit of time over the years scouring Mugwort for this species and never found it in the county, so whilst it is likely to be under-recordered, I don't think it is particularly common in south Wales.
