Anyone out and about at this time of year keep an eye out for folded leaves on Ribwort Plantain (
Plantago lanceolata). The larvae first mine the leaves which becomes a large blotch which then contracts and pulls the leaf together as in the photos below. Sorry for the poor quality photos.(Ynyslas yesterday).
