Chlaenius vestitus

There aren't a huge number of records of this species in Norfolk so a nice one to find in the moth trap.

It turned out that it wasn't the first I'd seen as I recently uncovered these photos in an old "unidentified beetles" folder from before I had started looking at beetles seriously. This one also came to light.
