Scully Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Fabulous little things! A friend of mine has a moth catcher which captures a moth long enough for her to note it’s details and is then released unharmed. She posted footage of a Hummungbird Hawknoth flitting about and feeding from the flowers in her garden. Wonderful! Would love to see one in person, as it were.

powler Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Great little workers, have seen them once in the UK but several times in Brittany and this year there was one working away on the flowers outside our hotel in the Italian Alps.

Mr. Merkel Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 We saw some in our garden this year for the first time, really nice to watch they loved the salvias but little else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 We had them in the garden again this year and her indoors bought plants to encourage them in as we liked them so much. At one time we were getting up to 4 at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
