Re: Your best insect of 2007

Interesting to read everyone's favourites from last year.

My favourites were:

1. a moth - a Feathered Brindle, which visited my light trap and was the first recording of this Nb nationally scarce species where I live, according to the County Moth Recorder;

2. a butterfly - the Silver-spotted Skipper - which I saw for the first time in 2007;

3. another butterfly - the Grayling, which I also saw for the first time in 2007; and

4. a Hornet Robberfly (Asilus crabroniformis) - a huge fly that was too fast to photograph. This is also a nationally scarce species.
