Species List for 22/06/2017

A nice surprise in one of my moth traps this morning. Ten years ago I caught a Spurge Hawk-moth, a rare migrant on 21st June. It was notable enough the get a mention in the last edition od Bernard Skinner's fabulous book. Last night Summer Solstice day did again and there was my second Spurge-hawk Moth.
