Small Elephant leads the parade

Two warm and increasingly humid nights came with lots of promise. Saturday did not deliver much but Sunday was a lot better.
A few new for the year and one new for the garden which was hidden in the bottom of the trap and clinging on to the last bit of life and subsequently expired in the pot shortly after photo taken.

Small Elephant Hawkmoth - seen better days, NFG 26/6

Vapourer - only one of these in Wychwood Ave last year

July Highflyer - seven of these last year, all in July, so this one is early!

Swallow-tailed Moth - a regular visitor

Reddish Light Arches - regular here on the chalk badlands

Cabbage Moth

Small Dusty Wave - common here

Yellow Shell - common here
