Chlaenius vestitus

There aren't a huge number of records of this attractive species in Norfolk so it's nice to have found them at three different sites, all coming to light.

This one was in my garden moth trap.

I recently uncovered these photos in an old "unidentified beetles" folder from before I had started looking at beetles seriously.
