There were about 100 of these laid in my garden in 2009 on the underside of a plum tree trunk. They took about a year to mature! In that time they used to climb from the \"nest\" area up to the branches and back - the trail was marked with a substance that looked like a snail trail. Eventually we had to move them to the front garden as they appeared to be starving on the plum tree whose new spring leaves were stripped. |
