This species seems to have had a good year. I'd never seen one before but found 5 - all females - in my part of South Yorkshire this summer. |

Stephane, thank you very much. John, I have been seeing a few of these every year for the last three years. I can't say I have noticed an increase in numbers in this part of the world but, strangely, this is the first male I have seen. Best wishes, Phil |
