Blotched Emerald both seemingly scarce for VC55 turning up in the Garden.

It all started last season after a Heart attack, me pal Geoff (who’s currently trapping all sorts in Wales) I found him a Chinese Character which he duly twitched. Licking my wounds off work a Moth trap was built, first victim was Orange Swift, had his Cousin last night Common Swift 😬
