While on holiday in Norfolk earlier this year my reason and almost sole target was the swallowtail butterfly.

While chasing these at Hickling Broad I just missed one (too eager at the time) and while stood chastising myself I noticed this little fellah just to the right of where the swallowtail had been. What the heck, I took a pic.

Agapanthia villosoviridescens

When I returned home and tried to id it I realised that it is still confined, though spreading, to around Norfolk and Northampton.

Only goes to show, if it’s there, photograph it!
