Only the second time I've mothed this year and I saw this sat on the side of the caravan and almost ignored it till something whispered 'look closely' so into a pot it went and turned out to be this interesting calcareous loving critter who also requires Wych Elms the book tells me .....

It was after sweet and sour chicken, crispy seaweed and mini spring rolls ..... ! Glad its sharp - I can't tell on the laptop screen properly - I have to guess at it! The book says Arnside Knott for this species but I'm not a million miles away as the crow flies but I'd like to think its expanding its range in the area ...
