I ran mine at the caravan site on my last days off and a got myself a new record 'The Streamer' I brought it into the van to photograph it - as soon as I took the top of the specimen pot it was off to the roof and I thought no worries everything is closed . . . but it seems there is a slight gap in the roof light even when it is closed and thro that it squeezed! I retrapped it again the following night and fumbled the potting up process - it was last seen speeding thro the darkness and blackthorn never to be seen again. . .

So Good Luck!!

Well if it travels a bit south, perhaps it'll end up in mine tonight! It's all very exciting. I'm like a kid at the moment. I keep having to go out in the garden for a look!
