Other Information
Last year we also found a few feeding on a small oak we have growing in a pot - Simon Crampin. Caliroa - there are 3 species that feed on willows, two of which are near-identical. Most likely this is either C. annulipes or C. cinxia. The most reliable way to separate these is by careful examination of the head capsule (hidden from view in these photos). - Mike Williams.
