Gotta think BIG

Exactly! 😁

Good luck! I’ve been meaning to order a Red-tipped lure myself.

In this order I have Welsh, Hornet, Six-belted and Red-belted. As with the Welsh the Hornet might be a bit of an forlorn hope but I’ll give it a go 😉

I’ve tried Six-belted in the garden without any luck, but if you can find a sunny site near you with plenty of Birdsfoot Trefoil you should stand a good chance of getting some.

Im not holding my breath tbh. But I might see about getting permission for a small nature park a couple of miles from here to increase my chances.

I’ve got one as well. The same thing was said about Raspberry Clearwing and look what happened to me

Always worth a punt I reckon, and as you’ve shown it can pay off. I chose Hornet and Welsh as my ‘chance’ and ‘fat’ choices this year. Not sure how much of the country is being sampled by lure danglers, but I’d guess it’s being undersampled.

I like those odds, it must be a million to one chance. Or maybe that was the Ankh Morpork Night Watch 🤷🏻‍♂️

Having recently heard and seen one of these I was confused by your reply and had to google that. Not my photo, obviously.

I believe the coat of arms of the fictional city did have an owl on it 🤔
