1 Eupithecia cretaceata <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

  <\/em><\/strong>The Eupithecia cretaceata <\/em><\/strong>below, photographed by Jochen, is one of the larger pugs, and one that it is relatively (i.e. relative to most other pugs) easy to identify.  Its caterpillar feeds on the flowers of Veratrum viride<\/em>, which is generally described as one of the most deadly poisonous (to humans) plants in our countryside.<\/p>\n
