Dusky Nettle Triangle (Udea marmarina)Observer
jon_sullivanDescription
Larvae feeding on a Urtica ferox in the core of Kennedys Bush. I found three with a cursory search. Close-ups are through a 10x botanical hand lens.
I usually see red admiral larvae feeding in folded up Urtica ferox leaves, but these larvae look very different.
