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

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

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.
