User's notes

A number of caterpillars gathered under my green bin in various stages of pupating. Many more attached to the bottom of the bin. SOme moths already emerging. Also a number of smaller cocoons, which I have collected to see what they are. Pie-dish beetles were also harbouring under the bin.
