Common Footman

Care needs to be taken over
separating this species from a number of similar, but less common species.&nbsp; Still an extremely common species, likely to
be met with in numbers anywhere, but numbers do seem to have fallen since the
start of the century.&nbsp; 

Buff Footman

Needs care to separate from the
commoner Dingy Footman.&nbsp; Widespread and
becoming commoner, with considerable numbers coming to light in favoured
gardens.

Dingy Footman

less common, but still widespread, Buff Footman.&nbsp; Widely distributed and becoming more
common.&nbsp; Frequent in gardens with big
numbers on some of the county’s larger and better known wildlife sites –
