28th May - Clearwing lures

Sunny and a slight breeze meant it looked good for getting some pheromones out for the first time this year. I targeted two of the early season species that I haven't recorded before - both being seemingly rare in the area. These were Large Red-belted (CUL lure) and Yellow-legged (VES lure). 

Nothing happened for a couple of hours then one came in to  CUL ...but I was slightly disappointed to find it was a Red-belted. I was a little surprised that it had come in to the 'wrong' lure but any clearwing is still good to see....
