Psychoides verhuella

Today, whilst walking at the nearby DWT Scanniclift Copse, I came across the larvae of either Psychoides verhuella or P. filicivora on Hart's-tongue Fern. I took home a larva to confirm the species. As its head, prothoracic plate and anal plate were black I can safely call it Psychoides verhuella.


Psychoides verhuella - Black head and prothoracic plate.

Psychoides verhuella - Black anal plate.
