Heavy rain in the Heddon valley followed by sunshine prompted a mass basking of around 20 HBF larvae. There were surprisingly several in their final instar. Could be a May emergence.

Excellent, Richard. They have a mini-stegosaurus look to them with all those powerful spines.

Thanks David. Yes, HBF larvae, especially late instars are stunning creatures.
