the leaves of the wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca), 

 the larvae of Lampronia prcelatella may be found ; it

In turned-down leaves of sloe we may find the larvae 

 of Enicostoma lobelia, together with the larvae of 

 Ypsolophus fasciellus, which " feed on sloe, doubling 

 up the leaf and leaving an opening at each end, through 

 which they hurriedly escape on any alarm, so that they

 the ordinary spots small and black ; it is very lively, 

 with a tremulous motion of the anterior segments." —
