As they feed and grow young insects moult their skins often 10 or more times, with each stage known as an instar.

Enlarge the map for more detail, placemarks will act as a guide for parking at the location, route planning etc. Paul Brock has possibly done more to change how we see, recognise, grasp, understand, and, therefore, care about insects than any one else in Britain. The year started off with some amazing Waxwings and great Gulls before repeated trips to Devon provided an expensive Penduline Tit (find out why) amongst a whole host of local specialties like Cirl Bunting.
