Please forgive me for the cardinal sin of posting a moth She was so lovely I thought others would like to see her.

I've only ever seen one Lime Hawkmoth. Back in June 2004 at Stockley Park, at lunchtime resting in the shade on a bush. I managed to get a pic though:

But your pics beat mine hands down.
Ever since then I have had a soft spot for Hawk Moths. I've only ever seen two since. A Poplar Hawkmoth July last year that I rescued from a London Pavement and the gorgeous neon-coloured Small Elephant Hawmoth seen in North Norfolk in May this year (the same day I saw my first ever Wall Brown).
