This is from the latest edition of the newsletter of the Entomological Livestock Group:Endromis versicolora: The Forestry Commission has the enlightened policy of planting birch around its conifer plantations which make up Thetford Forest, on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. This provides what seems to me a perfect environment for the Kentish Glory moth, and, before I move on (I am the wrong side of 70) I would like to have a serious try to establish the species there. If I can find a few confederates in this venture, and livestock from a few sources to keep the gene stock healthy, chances of success might be, if not assured, at least increased from its present very low (pipe-dream) level. Interested, anyone?
If anyone is interested, email me (jon@eclipse.co.uk) and I will pass it on. I am posting this off my own bat, and it would be particularly unethical to circulate someone's name and email address without his permission.
