I can imagine. Almost guaranteed Death's-head Hawk larvae, if you grow potatoes, plus Convolvulus Hawk on the bindweed!

Thank you Jane, much appreciated. I've always fancied those allotments would be a good place for moths!

Hi Jane, super find! I also had one in Cornwall this week. Please would it be possible to have a rough location for the record?

It's been 23 years since the Silver-striped so another would be most welcome. Would be nice to add Oleander to the garden list!! 😆

I can imagine! I had a similar wait (40 years) to see my first in 2023. Now you've had this and Levant Blackneck, what's moved to the top of the list now? [Geometrician and Tunbridge Wells Gem the top two in my list!]
