I saw the first of the season for me yesterday. In a small area we saw over half a dozen.   |

Thanks for the replies! Not so much a find, I just looked around yesterday and noticed it on our lounge wall just under the bulbs of a table lamp. Could it have been attracted by the warmth or the light? I didn't have a clue what it was but I knew someone on here would and you haven't let me down.
BTW, the wall isn't really that yellow, it's just the flash.  | | |
