User's notes
The Jezebels went absolutely crazy this year and completely hammered this mistletoe, with a massive first clutch and also a second clutch of smaller larvae that hatched later (as you can see in image 2, one group were already in chrysalis stage whilst the second lot were still in larval stage), will upload a few more sightings of subsequent visits. Seems they like it a lot here as I also found a couple more mistletoes with pupa on them down the road.
