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.

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!
