or Redunderwing Moth_a sight worth staying up for. I never dreamt I would get excited about moths but I am. I often see the Poplar Hawk Moth but I hadn't seen this beauty before. My Moth and Butterfly book says it only flies in August and September. Does my mid October sighting mean it is being affected by global warming?
I'm fascinated to discover how many moths fly by day. We have the Chimney Sweeper Moth, whose black form darts around our most gorgeous wild flower bank but I had assumed his daytime antics were rare.
The first time I saw Victoria Wood do a standup routine she said, as far as I remember:" I went to the police to report the theft of my car. I told them my collection of moths had been stolen with it."
Was it on the back seat?" they asked
"No, I said. It was stuck to the number plate."
