6th May, 2012.

As a follow-up to my Downy Emerald exuvia discovery on 30th April, I have received an email from Terry Dabner detailing his sighting of the first 'adult' Downy Emerald - also at Lower Moor Farm! He enclosed a photo which I've posted here which shows a very teneral individual; almost certainly yet to take it's maiden flight, sat next to it's distinctive exuvia. A fabulous shot and a sight I've yet to see myself.
