Nadine from the Grounds Team have found a twig caterpillar in the Dining Hall Garden. The Grounds team thinks it is the caterpillar of a Peppered Moth, which used to be common and now in sharp decline.

It is also called ‘Darwin’s Moth’ as it has a great story attached to it which can be found on the  wildlife trust website. Take a look at the ‘Did you know’ section to find out more: https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates/moths/peppered-moth

The caterpillar can change colour according to what branch it is on.
