The good news - they were believed to be extinct - but they're back.

We'll have to keep an eye out

We're relying on you to spot one!

I might have one in my bathroom which I thought was dead until I picked it up and seen it's legs twitching so I put it back. It's wings were closed though so I am still unsure what type it is, but judging by it's brownish colour (I thought it was a moth!) I suppose it could be?

I don’t think I’ve seen one since I was a kid.
