“These are not the Hawkmoths you are looking for. Move along, move along …”

It is always a pleasant surprise when I turn over an egg tray and see a Privet Hawkmoth but, when the rest of the country are catching Striped Hawk’s left, right and centre, I must confess that I was a teeny-weeny bit disappointed. No Bordered Straw either. And that just about sums up the garden trap at the moment … still a bit on the slow side … with small numbers of Heart & Dart, the odd Buff Ermine, Light Brocade and Rustic Shoulder-knot and hardly a micro to be seen.
