You're right Sckel. I will put this back in the mission. The empty leaves are signs. Sorry but to fixing hundreds at one time.
Sckel
because you removed it from the mission, Mark?
Sckel
Many thanks for your comment, lauren.
Mark Ridgway
Removed from 'Signs of wildlife' mission as this is actual wildlife.

Great spotting Sckel, it is like mine. I think the pattern on my leaf is due to leaf skeletonizing leaf beetles because it goes clear through. Your little caterpillars are eating only the top layer. Great find!
