Hummingbird Hawk-moths are one of the species commonly being seen and the caterpillars and moths that emerged in early August from eggs laid by earlier migrants can be seen on the Hummingbird Hawk-moth page.
Having first arrived in late Spring it would be interesting to know how many of these fabulous day flying migrant moths being seen now are the offspring of these earlier migrants or more recent arrivals.
