Currant clearwing is now out on the wing. Put the pheromone out in the garden near my Currant bushes this afternoon and 7 came in, the most I’ve ever seen here at one time. Even after putting the pheromone away they still buzzed round the area for ages.
No sign of either Red-belted clearwing or Yellow-legged clearwing that I tried for as well.

Currant clearwing
I’ve had both Red-belted and Yellow-legged Clearwings to lure in the last few days (2 and 6 June respectively). I haven’t tried for Currant as yet – there’s a big allotment over the road so it may be worth a try. (Ipswich IP4)
