Nope, just googled that and shuddered as I have a moth phobia...I did come home to a dead shrew on the bath mat and a smug looking kitty today though!

I once found a polish builder standing in my fish pond with my seriously miffed dog glaring at him, Silly bugger had jumped over my fence to access next door without looking first.

Just done some googling ....

Apparently there was a royal navy ship called HMS Cockchafer

That would have been embarrassing to serve on that one

I love anything like that its normally the moth caterpillars i find in my garden we have a few butterflie species but they come and go

I use another forum which has all the

wildlife you can find in this country

Its about that time of the year when the

bigger moths will be more active like

The hawk moths fast flyers easily attracted to light and then quite vulnerable I have often found them next day ok but completely unaware of their Bearings till its dark again but they lose a lot of energy just in one night

due to food loss.

I saw some of

them in my garden a few years back now on the honeysuckle and they can move fast long travelled migrants it just starts to to get to dark to see them properly here not sure they would put up with a torch.

Hummingbird moths are seen in the uk, as far up as the Highlands of Scotland. They are unusual as they are active during the day, and scared the hell out of me when I first saw one!

Deer, foxes, rabbits, hare, pheasants, rats, mice - not at the same time!

Birds nesting all around the roof and pooing everywhere at the mo.

Probably lots of weird crawly things too but I try to leave those alone.

I found an elephant hawk moth caterpillar when I was a kid and did scream. Also had a willow hawk moth one in the garden a couple of years ago. Incredible colours and design and both pretty big.

We have some beautiful moths here, and worth feeding and caring for them. The humming bird ones are great to watch. If you see them they often return to the same spot each day at the same time. Ive had them as regulars on old English lavender amongst other plants.

Its surpriseing what moths are around through the summer months many go un noticed I remember seeing one it had the

same out line as a vulcan bomber lovely

cryptic markings above it was the wings

Below i could not see but still identified it has a red underwing later on getting

the book out and seeing the red wings With

The black band on the bottom of both

I saw other red underwings later

years you usually see the orange Underwings its funny i can remember seeing something like that years back

and can,t remember something i did 5 minutes back unless its something like

that typical of me.
