It was evident that not everyplant was being used by the moth. To confirm the insectsbreeding status, the seed heads of R. hydrolapathum wereexamined in October 1976. Cases were exceedingly difficult * Le Chene, Forest, Guernsey, Channel Islands. 16 entomologists record, vol. 90 15/1/78 to see, tucked deep into the seeds, which clothe the deadflowering heads of the plant. Many had been parasitized, asshown by a minute round hole in midcase. Sufficient caseswere noted in two hours searching to conf
