A lovely surpise to see so many moths in my moth trap this morning including privet and small elephant hawkmoths, peppered moth, buff tip, angle shades and several others yet to be identified.

Fabulous, Ian. That Privet Hawk moth is like a jet fighter.

I realise this is a butterfly forum, but I must say I'm very much enjoying this thread.

Thank you. I wasn't quite sure whether this was the right place to show these sightings but as I have just started moth trapping it seemed appropriate. There is a ukmoths website, but the photos may be much better there!
