Last year during the heatwave of '18 (doesn't have the same ring to it as The Summer Of Seventy-six somehow) I got somewhat excited (on the wrong thread, nothing new there :rolleyes: ) by cinnabar moths and their progeny.
Well, yesterday I was visited by my first of the year :clap:. Very pleased by the continuation :D.
Good to hear you're still on their itinerary :nod:

After several blank years I saw a Hummingbird Hawkmoth in the garden this afternoon. :)
