Good stuff Kayleigh. Easier than waiting by a light in the garden!
I had one of these (Swallow-tailed) in my bedroom last night. My fault though. I was mothing in the garden and forgot to shut the windows. So when I went to bed I had a line of moths on the curtains: 3 Large Yellow Underwings, 1 Swallow-tailed, 1 Clay, 1 Dark Arches and a Marbled Beauty. Fortunately I had some spare pots, and potted them up so that I could sleep soundly! |

Much nicer than the moths which find their way through my open windows. The white one is quite ghostly looking. There was no link for it so I am going to have a look on the site for more info.  |

The family thought it was a bat at first.  |

I also have lavender, looks like the planting is paying off... I also have a pond..
I am hoping by attracting moths I will get some bats. |
