At last, a Currant Clearwing

This afternoon (7th) I finally managed to lure a Currant Clearwing from our 3 blackcurrant bushes in the garden. I have been trying to attract this moth for the last 2 summers and was beginning to lose faith in the lures!

Like others, last night was a bit of a disappointment. I have now recorded all 4 common hawkmoths here (Elephant, Small Elephant, Poplar and Privet). Other moths of interest were Ghost Moth, Clouded-bordered Brindle and Figure of Eighty.

    I tried the pheromone around my bushes again this afternoon after my success last weekend, I wanted to see if any more were about. There were, as 3 came in within about 30 seconds!
