Waved Black - Darley Dale

Simon has done it again with his 5th record of Waved Black in 11 years. The population appears very local to Simon as I have never caught it despite trapping most of the nights when Simon has caught them, and only being approximately a kilometre away. 
We have previously speculated that there could be an established colony in the wood yard close to where Simon lives. How, or when, they became established there is anyone's guess but Simon has confirmed that wood is imported from France.
It has a status of Nationally Scarce B which means there are records from 31-100 10km squares in GB since 1980.
