Hi Greg

Acleris literana is a good find. There are a number of 19th century records but then nothing until Mel caught one at Great Sutton in 2015. We've now had 15 individuals from the Chester/Wirral area but with the exception of one at Bickerton Hill in 2016, all sightings were from this area. However last year it spread as far as Elton and right across to Alsager and now we have yours from mid-Cheshire, so hopefully we will all find it in our gardens soon.

Regards
Steve
