I have had a number of sitings of B.discolor this year and although there was plenty of 'Ground Ivy' around, on no occasion did I see them feeding on it. The only flower I did see them feeding on was Primrose (Primula vulgaris). In my garden they fed on Polyanthus.

I did NOT see B. discolor feeding on Ground Ivy either. It was not even in flower at the time. However, it was in the area which amounts to a large patch of Ground Ivy seen flowering in quantity a few days ago. Ground Ivy begins to flower in small quantities at the beginning of April when it was seen.
