McKay 37 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have only ever seen 2 as far as I can recall, The first time was in France in about 2003 and then again in our back garden one hot summers day not long after, never seen one since. Amazing little creatures aren't they. I don't think they are rare but more common in some places than others. McKay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rolfe 2 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 A customer of mine photographed one this year on her Lavender bush and sent the picture to me for identification ....amazing creatures for sure........just like a humming bird. They are not common around here ..........indeed i had never seen one before she showed me the picture. Rolfe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
