Species List for 2/10/2016

A Dark Chestnut was new for the year and there was another Delicate. However my mothing wasn't confined to my traps. My next door neighbour, Chris, who knows of my eccentricities called me to come and look at something in her garden. I guessed immediately what it was and was amazed that I was right. Sitting in the middle of a path in her garden was a Convolvulus Hawk-moth.
