When I was a kid, these little dearies were prolific in the fields around my Mum's house. Completely harmless, slow and easy for kids to catch etc. However, I haven't seen one in donkey's years. Does anyone know what they are???
Still very common in "wilder" places like unimproved wildflower meadows, woodland glades etc. Saw quite a few when I was photographing butterflies last June-Sept
You see a very distinctive neon pinky flash when they fly past.
