Red-belted Clearwings

I had 4 Red-belted Clearwings (2 to MYO and 2 to CUL) under the apple tree in my garden at Beenham, Berks this afternoon between 2.00pm and 3.00pm. These seem to be a bit more amenable to entering the trap and being at home I can calm them down a bit in the fridge to allow for photos.

Last year I didn't get them until the first week of July.
