I'm glad someone has brought this topic up. I've never seen one and would love to. Does anyone know any good sites in the Carboniferous Limestone areas of Lancs, Yorks or the Peak District? I've heard Arnside Knott is a place for them.
Regards, Chris |

I have seen larvae at two sites in Surrey (Headley Heath and Bookham Common) in May. We have our monthly Bookham Common survey meeting this Saturday coming, so may see some again.

ChrisJB, I don't know about Arnside Knott, but over on the north side of the estuary you'll find them on the limestone cliff and old quarry at Meathop, near the foot of the River Winster. I've even seen them in the railway ballast there. |
