🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

Spindle ermine moth: A common resident but rarer further north and into Scotland. The forewing is uniformly white with black dots. Very similar in appearance to closely related Ermines and care must be taken with identification.

As the vernacular name suggests, the caterpillars feed gregariously in a web on and are sometimes a pest of Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) and Evergreen Spindle (Euonymus japonicus). The webbing is sometimes extensive, covering entire bushes or hedges where leaves are almost entirely defoliated.
