Hummingbird Hawkmoth on Buddleia



I noticed this in the back garden and rushed for the camera.

  1. Great photos Adam. We have only had this species twice so far this year (July)- on red valerian

  2. That's a magnificent buddleia, Adam, and the excellent photo quality that I can only dream of getting with my compact digital camera. No HBHM sightings here so far this year, partly because the red valerian has declined and buddleias have either died or suffered severe setbacks. This is very puzzling because I have always considered them to be almost indestructible.

  3. Thank you Chris, in Burry Port Buddleia is thriving, this is an X Davidiae buddleia grown from a cutting given to me by a certain I Morgan esq.
