Big Night at the Old Vic

The Loxostege was back on the side of the trap this morning and this time I didn't @@@ it up. Also Convolvulus Hawkmoth (a long time coming) and a nice handful of migrants. More on the Upper Thames Blog HERE

Convolvulus Hawkmoth- worth waiting for ! A video HERE and below
Nailed it! Loxostege Sticticalis- maybe yesterday's one back at the same trap
Old Lady- a new for year
The 8th garden Vestal this year

A bit worn on the wing-tips  so presumably a bit of a struggle to get here. Beautiful patterns, presumably a male with this kind of detail (females are plainer) and also the large antennae in the top photo suggest a male too
