| Sallow Clearwing - Cookham 17-Jul-20 |
It certainly looks to me like a Sallow Clearwing, but confirmation is always welcome.
Having had its picture taken, it has now been released.

Sallow Clearwing in Cookham
Like Adam in Marlow Bottom, I have been trying out the new LUN lure in my garden, so far without any success. As well as the LUN lure, I have also just purchased the SAL lure and tried it out for the first time this afternoon. When I glanced at the pheromone trap about 30 minutes after putting it out, I saw this clearwing flying around inside and quickly potted it up.

Hello Steve,
ReplyDeleteYes, that's Sallow Clearwing. A very nice record!
Many thanks Dave.
DeleteI put out the Sal lure also, in Longwick. Got very excited when a clearwing appeared - only for it to be a Red Belted !
ReplyDeleteNothing to the LUN lure for me either. Fingers crossed!
Funnily enough, on the 12th the same happened to me. The SAL lure was placed out in the garden for a couple of hours late morning and the only arrival to it was a Red-belted Clearwing. That's actually the only occasion I've ever had the "wrong" species to a lure, although I know it does happen occasionally.
