Black-spotted Chestnut

For the third winter in a row Robin Knill-Jones has had Black-spotted Chestnut in his garden at Denham in the extreme south-east corner of Bucks.  This latest specimen turned up last night (16th) to a Heath trap fitted with an LED strip.  

Black-spotted Chestnut, Denham 16th November

In the last couple of weeks it has appeared again at known sites in the adjacent counties of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire to the east of us, but to date Robin's garden seems to be the only site anywhere in our three counties for this newcomer.  Surely someone else should catch one soon!
