I managed a very quick ‘get some fresh air’ visit to Wolves Wood this lunchtime and was amazed to come across a Hornet Moth sitting on, of all things, a hazel leaf on one of the young tree that are growing up along the path near to the car park. Having just seen Neil’s (2008) image on the website of one hatched from a cocoon collected from base of one of the many aspen’s I guess this one must have just wandered over from another part of the wood.

The cocoon I collected from an Aspen tree along the path leading up into the wood from the car park so not too far from where you saw your moth Paul.
