They look like rare plantain munching overwintered caterpillars. Are you on the south coast?

You're definitely heading in the right direction with that - and no more in the middle (of France !).  Go on, name names then ?

I bit of a guess as I've not seen them but Glanville fritillary? We just get the silver washed around here.

Absolutely bang on Paul - saw a few more than usual last year (see the Local Wildlife thread that I'm sorry to say I hijacked last year) so left maybe 50m2 of lawn uncut all summer long and found these 3 days ago. Chuffed.  However I'm in a bit of a quandary : I believe in generally leaving things be and letting nature take it's course BUT today was 23 degrees - next Weds forecast is for 4 inches of snow followed by minus 8 !!!  I'm not sure they'll make it so thinking of kidnapping the whole lot for a few days and putting them back afterwards - what do you reckon ?

Oh and we are incredibly lucky to have found ourselves in fritilliary central : Silver -washed, Queen of Spain, Marbled, Lesser Marbled, Violet, Heath, Dark Green, Knapweed and Small Pearl Bordered to name (quite) a few !
