Scarlet Tigers and Hawk-moths
/UK’s mini-heatwave means there’s plenty of moths. There were twenty-five Scarlet Tigers in and around the moth trap this morning, and three types of hawk-moth: Elephant, Small Elephant and Poplar.
Pink Elephants
/One of each species of Elephant Hawk-moth in the trap this morning. Always a very welcome catch.
600 Species - Small Elephant Hawk Moth
/Moth trapping is getting quite addictive, and I’m very happy to reach 600 species in style with this gorgeous Small Elephant Hawk-moth, found in the trap this morning. I’m still working on identifying some other of last night’s moths - but this ID was pretty straightforward. Nice!
