A group of us were moth trapping over in Suffolk last night. Lots of good stuff in the traps, and also a few bits from around the site - but that can wait. Aside from the moths and other bits, we did pick up something that I certainly wasn't expecting. Some things are just inherently awesome for any number of reasons - sheer beauty, impressive size, rarity. This one fits the awesome bill .....

Mind you, this one isn't bad either ....
