A pleasant surprise

Llandaff North: This Orange Footman was fluttering around the bulb when I checked the trap last night. Possibly new for ST17?

  1. I had one in Cathays last year - it should be in MapMate!

  2. Thanks Dave - my computer has been away at the menders so I didn't have access to MapMate!

  3. There are another 4 records from Dinas Powys too. A species that has established itself quite quickly since the first at Wern Ddu in 2003. Hopefully my garden next!

  4. You beat me to it Jake, yes the Perry's caught a few last year in Dinas. Mine was just round the corner from my office one morning. Shouldn't be long before it turns up in Roath!
