A good night for the garden trap, with this Hawkmoth on the outside:

A strong supporting cast included Devon Carpet:

Also FFY Figure of Eighty, Poplar Grey, Clouded Silver, Buff Ermine, Elephant Hawkmoth, Mottled Pug, Willow Beauty, Peppered Moth (3), and I was pleased to see a Scorched Wing, Peach Blossom, Puss Moth, Common Wave and 3 Buff-tips.
Figure of Eighty |
The Lime Hawk-moth is a rarity indeed - 4th County record. I don't know whether they are slowly creeping northwards or captive releases.
