  1. Nice one Stewart,
    L-s Pugs are relatively common where I live, unlike Small Square-spot and Beautiful Golden Y. The latter of which I doubt I'll ever see in my garden.

  2. Fascinating Matt, Beautiful GY is regular enough here, but always in small numbers maybe up to 4 in a night. I would not have thought it would be less common down your way?
