I know that the population is expanding- what is the status in Suffolk now?

The best of course was a very fresh-looking four spotted footman- a new species for me.
The rest of the haul included both large and bulrush wainscots, l-album wainscot,mallow, merveille du jour, flounced chestnut, black rustic and red-green carpet.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Nothing really remarkable turned up, and I was just putting the trap away when my host pointed out a Goat Moth sitting quietly on the side of a shed.
That’s a Suffolk first for me.

Not one micro- which is annoying because I want to play with the new Field Guide by Sterling and Parsons. What do other members think of it, bye the bye? It’s obviously nowhere near comprehensive, but I’ve already found it useful.

Have many been seen in Suffolk this year?
