Watched a Ray Mears prog tonight. He was in East Anglia and talking to a moth expert who said that he had only ever seen one death's head hawkmoth in his life and that, yes, they do squeak when you touch them

.
I hadn't realised they were THAT rare

Fascinating as usual, Greg

Do you have to look them up or do you just recognise most of them ??

Great

Thank you Greg

that's pretty good going, Greg - thing is, moths don't have the instantly recognisable colourations of butterflies so they must be harder to identify.

You're absolutely spot on Placi

I have a very good book on Moths and even then I have trouble sorting out the many species

They should each have an identification label.
