Hummingbird Hawkmoth
Had an exceptional night last night, over 50 species sorted so far. Had to go out in the midst of collating them as I was helping at a local Chapel's 300 year anniversary, (flowers and teas), but it was a worthwhile mothing trip too as I saw a Hummingbird Hawkmoth on the rhododendrons, plus was was able to show it to a few people. All of them were farming/country people and had never seen one before or knew of their existence, all were amazed.
