I watched some tennis before deciding to put out 3 lures into the back garden with no thoughts of success after being lucky with the Orange-tailed Clearwing but was amazed that the VES lure attracted another Clearwing within 5 minutes of putting the pheromone out.Is it another Orange-tailed I thought but to my big surprise I had attracted the other Clearing that responds to VES namely the Yellow-legged Clearwing which gave me my 4th Clearwing of this campaign. I was gobsmacked, if you excuse the expression,that this little garden in the middle of houses has done it again, so it a good thing to never reject the impossible, because it can happen.
It had been my intention today to visit Straits Inclosure for the second time in a week but decided first to pop down to see my brother with the intention of sorting a date so that he can see the Purple Emperor for the first time.Well time being time its doesnt stand still so by the time I left I knew it would be to late to see any PE on the ground so decided a late lunch was in order back at home.
