10th June 2017 - more clearwings

More in hope than expectation I put both FOR and VES lures out at 3pm despite some blustery conditions. An Orange-tailed Clearwing soon came in to VES and was quickly netted. I was pleased to get a photo as I managed to let one escape last year without getting any sort of record.

At about 4pm a Red-tipped Clearwing came in to FOR, a garden first. However my netting attempt was completely inept and the moth made a quick exit. I left the lure out for another half hour but it didn't return. So will have to try again for that one....
