June-July - Chamomile Shark

The 24 historical records for Chamomile Shark in Stirlingshire (vc86) all come from the Falkirk and Stirling areas and fall between 1963 and 1994. Between 30^th June and 2^nd of July 2010, Duncan Davidson investigated roadside patches of foodplant and found larvae at Lauriston near Falkirk and also at three sites in that portion of Fife that falls in vc87, namely Blairhall, Mains of Comrie and Lockshaw Moss. Duncan has also drawn my attention to an AES Bulletin reporting the species in Glasgow so a search of the foodplants in other areas in which the species has not been reported could be rewarding.
