MOTHS

[Jacksparrow]

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 ) by cinnabar moths and their progeny.
Well, yesterday I was visited by my first of the year . Very pleased by the continuation .

Good to hear you're still on their itinerary

Not moths WASPS I did get up and my doorstep was covered with things like maggots but it turns out it is Larva from the nest what ever next its horrible I just hose them down the drain .

Good for you, Greenfinch. Three cheers for the pragmatic approach - works every time

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

That is a very good spot JS. Not seen any so far. When i do will be in the farmers field where the flowers are.

Coming back from the shop here, a hummingbird hawk moth flittering about some flowers in the hedge for nectar. First I have seen so close to home.

Well spotted Willpar. I will probably have to wait until the buddlia starts flowering.

Have noticed that the buddlia has just started flowering in a few places I walk.
