These have been tapped and netted from an area I used to trap regular in Glamorgan. Maybe they don't come to light often? Fingers crossed it is one.

I have never had one to light that I can remember. I have had a few around willowherb around sunrise. They never seem to fly far and usually pose nicely for the camera.
