A Convolvulus Hawk-moth was in the garden trap when I opened it on 17 August, dwarfing everything else in the trap.

We grow Nicotiana regularly every year, but this is only the second time the hawk-moths have noticed it - as far as I know.

Night of 30 August: Convolvulus Hawk-moth (Agrius convolvuli) and Dewick's Plusia (Macdunnoughia confusa) light-trapped.

2 Convolvulus Hawkmoths at Nicotiana last night

Night of 29 August: Convolvulus Hawk-moth (Agrius convolvuli) light-trapped at Kilnsea.

Night of 28 August: Dorset Cream Wave (Stegania trimaculata) light-trapped in Wakefield - the fourth British record.

Night of 28 August: Bordered Straw (Heliothis peltigera) light-trapped at Titchwell.

Small Mottled Willow (Spodoptera exigua), taken at light on 27/08

A single Convolvulus Hawkmoth has been nectaring on Nicotiana each night since the 24th. Same one?

Death's-head Hawk-moth found on the road at Forsinard this morning.

Another C. fraxini last night, making 3 in a week. No doubt now that they are established locally.
