Judging by earlier posts, quite a few of us are having success recording clearwings. I put my VES lure out in the garden about 1pm yesterday, and within a few minutes the first Orange-tailed Clearwing had arrived, followed fairly quickly by 3 more.
A couple of days earlier, I found this caterpillar munching my Red Valerian.
I thought possibly an Angle Shades? But other suggestions welcome.

The caterpillar is of a sawfly, not lepidopterous.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. Not the first time I have been fooled by a sawfly!
