Eyed Hawk
It's been a stunning year for moths in our garden, something I put down to the fact we turned 3/5 of our garden over to wildflowers. I've had six species of Rustic, five of the Prominents, four types of Thorn, and three different Wainscots plus a lot of firsts like the Small Elephant Hawk moth, the Hummingbird Hawk, the Eyed Hawk and the Lime Hawk. Many Angle Shades, too. I will do the same next year, so let's see if the trend continues!
Meanwhile, this blog will go into semi-hibernation over the winter, as usual. See you in the Spring.
