Hiya
Lots of stuff around on planting for butterflies - does anyone have any favourite plants for moths? The reason I ask this is because I have a small clump of Lysimachia barystachis in my garden which always seems to have moths resting or nectaring on it. The plant is popular with hoverflies in the day time, less so with butterflies (they seem to prefer Chieranthus 'Bowles Mauve' or Centranthus rubra).
I'm also interested in what concoctions folk would recommend to attract moths to a 'wine rope'. I tried one last night and all I saw on it was a large cricket! However, 3 feet to the left, on an apple that had been pecked by the birds I found a beautiful Red Underwing. This isn't my best photograph but I like the fact you can see that long tongue poking into the apple.
