The Horse Chestnut Moth Cameraria ohridella is becoming very prevalant. I visit to Thorpe Abbots Churchyard to see the rare Ilex x altaclerensis Highclere Holly found the Horse Chestnut Aesculus hippocastaneum leaves were covered in the mines of the larval stage. It does seem more common in the Upper Waveney Valley but sadly it is one moth species that is not welcome. First recorded in 2002 in Wimbledon London it has spread all over the UK.
