Fascinating to watch as it chomps its way through the leaves.    Funny thing is it didn't seem interested in the green leaves, just the yellow ones. What's left of the leaf after a few minutes.

OhLook insufferably pedantic.

This is a female, by the way. They wrap their eggs in the leaf bits, along with food for the larva. The ones I've seen here bring circles of green leaf to the nest. I have no idea why yours chose yellow. PRONOUN ADVISORY: OhLook is a she. | Comments welcome

BasAndrews wrote in post #16118367  My shot of one of these was just as it was about to make the last cut, they are really quick. This is the first one I've photographed and they are quick but it kept coming back to the same leaf so all I had to do was wait. George
