Tiny Elephant in Burry Port.
A Privet Hawkmoth rested on the shed near the trap, inside which, I caught a glimpse of pink and green. My first Small Elephant Hawkmoth, a little beauty!
There was also an early and very worn Sandy Carpet in the trap.
In all, 29 species, excluding two different, tiny, brown micros, on which I have given up.

Keep up the recording Adam! Nice to see that you had small elephant hawk-moth - perhaps not surprising though, as it`s frequent at Pembrey.
ReplyDeleteThe Small Elephant was most welcome. I will be trapping again tonight.
