steg 609 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Anybody else seen any yet? Last year it was back end of August before i clapped eye's on one. Heavy hailstorm 2 day's back and a car scraping frost this morning..and these beauties pop up in the front garden when the temp hit 14 this afternoon. Maybe planting in four "Buddleja" last spring has helped? Naff mobile photies folk.. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
