Chamomile shark

 I spotted this cryptically-camouflaged chamomile shark caterpillar on sea mayweed growing just above the strandline, W. of Pembrey Old Harbour yesterday (7/6). They are still quite small and they are easier to find as they grow in size, though the camouflage still remains effective. I`ve recorded it previously at this site, but it should be searched for all along the Carms coast; it`s known from the Pembrey-Llanelli-Llangennech coastal belt but records from Ferryside westwards would be welcome.
