Hi James, I think it's Pales pavida. Greetings, Eric |

Thanks, Eric. Can you be sure it is P. pavida from a photo? We have 2 in NL - Pales pavida and Pales processioneae. James Edited by jck on 28-09-2020 20:46 |

Hi James, not 100% as it is nearly impossible by photo, but in September there no more Thaumetopoea on their feet, so most probably it is pavida. Otherwise there is a chance for processionae to have another host... Greetings, Eric |

True ... and not. P. processioneae has two generations yearly, which is very weird if you are monophagous and your host has only one generation. Largest numberst, at least in rearing experiments, are at end of August. This is not understood. That said, the head profile and rather reddish tibiae both suggest female pavida. Females are very difficult to tell apart. Theo Edited by Zeegers on 03-10-2020 08:04 |
