No need for a lure

 

I had the happy experience of watching a natural pheremone trap yesterday when a Scarlet Tiger flew erratically about over our veg patch before diving into a clump of marguerites in a very disorganised fashion. The reason for his hasty behaviour was just visible inside the plant whose tangles were thickened by a bindweed. In short order the scene illustrated took place.  This was at 5pm.  I went to have a look out of interest at 9.15pm and they were still together.  Stand by for a good season next year.  They are all over the place round here at the moment.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
