Moth of the moment – Convolvulus hawk.

There are good numbers of Convolvulus hawk being noted in the UK at the moment, with some Suffolk recorders getting lucky and seeing the species in their traps. So if you haven’t seen this moth yet at your sites then now is a good time to try and get one!
I have been lucky and saw one on Orfordness (as already reported) and then got one in my garden trap on the 10th (my third site record). Not the same moth I hasten to add, as the Orfordness moth was left over there for a public event later on the Saturday.

Good luck!

    I’ve had seven so far this autumn at Bawdsey Hall and usually get them right through October too. It could be a good annual total here if the records continue.

    I’ve not seen one yet this year but the trap is out and there’s washing on the line so I should stand a good chance tonight.
