    Beeless so far here. I'm expecting them when the pulmonaria comes out properly

    I saw a red one from my car a couple of weeks ago, not for long enough to be able to see species tho!

    (I didn't hit it, I was at traffic lights and it fluttered by)

    Looks like you're the winner so far Steve
