The book suggests they are resident in some conifer areas, I think, although that's hardly pertinent to Mewslade/Llandaff. This year does seem to be a pretty good one for S. pyrastri in Carms.sambbryohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371859974181157877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-37477199953382756652015-08-04T13:55:27.545+01:002015-08-04T13:55:27.545+01:00I saw a Scaeva at Bryn Du, Llwydcoed on Sunday, bu...I saw a Scaeva at Bryn Du, Llwydcoed on Sunday, but it wouldn't stay still for me to get a good look at it or get a photo, before it made off.Mark Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372785801699168219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553355011221187801.post-60416882960582720042015-08-04T08:48:08.765+01:002015-08-04T08:48:08.765+01:00Yes, I think that you`re right re an influx Barry....Yes, I think that you`re right re an influx Barry.
