Only one migrant so far this week - a single Diamond-back. New for the year over the last 2 nights have been Phlyctaenia coronata, Privet Hawk, Common & Buff Footman, Ingrailed Clay and Shoulder-striped Wainscot.

This rather beautiful specimen of 143 Nematopogon metaxella was by my pond yesterday evening. The larva feeds on detritus in damp places.

Juliet Cryer sent me this image of a pair of Eyed Hawkmoths in her greenhouse.
