    Agapanthia is common enough around Barnsley these days.

    I also received this info. from Mike Denton
    Agapanthia villosoviridescens. This is the second record from the Wintersett area (see the Wintersett Report for 2008 pages 11/12). Originally confined to southern Britain, the species has expanded its range northwards during the last decade and is now fairly widely distributed in Yorkshire – in 2010 I even found it at Blackmoorfoot at 850 feet a.s.l.
