Many thanks Neil. I was gobsmacked when I uploaded my photos last night. I met you and Peter on that February day in 2019 when we saw it for the first time there. Will it be officially recorded?

Given the numbers of larvae recorded there last month, there could be quite a few adults on the wing over the next week or two.

No sorry. That was the only photo I managed to get before it flew off. Thanks for the compliments.
