It is a good time of year to keep an eye out for the fascinating species whose females have evolved to become flightless. A good place to look is in woodland, by torchlight, on tree trunks.
I had this female Dotted Border (Agriopis marginaria) emerge on 21.ii.2016, having reared it through from a larva found on Blackthorn.
