Alerted by Dave Wilton's post on the 19th May, I put my FOR clearwing lure out in the garden mid-afternoon yesterday. At 4:15pm a Red-tipped clearwing entered the trap, and about 20 minutes later it was joined by a second. Here is a photo of the colourful underside of this clearwing, where as Dave said the red seems to stand out particularly well.

So Dave - please let me know when I need to put the next lure out!

Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI expect I'll start trying again this coming week but it may be worth mentioning now that I've seen reports of White-barred, Red-belted and Yellow-legged over the past few days so it is certainly worth giving the lures a go whenever the weather is suitable.
