carlosdesilva Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Saw my first one today what a weird creature thought it was a humming bird at first,once a friend told me what id seen was a moth i read up on them and found out they frequent the same plant at the same time of day so will check the spot i saw this one tomorrow.

Teal Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 The first one I saw surprised me too! They seem to like buddleias. Recently I saw the results of a mercury vapour light trap, and some the moths which were collected were absolutely stunning. No Hummingbird Hawk-Moths but they seem to be active whilst it is still light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
