This thing is amazing, it doesn't look real!!

I've never seen one before & I'm chuffed to have had one in last night's trapping session.
List to follow later.

They are incredible aren't they! We have had two of them each night I have done trapping at my friends house.

I've never seen one of these, I am lucky if I get anything larger than my fingernail to my "trap"! I can imagine that something that size could be quite scary if they came past your head without warning in the dark

Lovely one to see Cordaline. I really like Poplar Hawks. I have plenty coming to the trap, but never tire of seeing them.

(If you want scary then how about a Privet Hawk moth heading straight at you!)

Cordaline, you are really racking them up in your inventory! Am so glad that other people are loving the hawks for what they really are, beautiful, stunning and gorgeous moths! Everyone I know (not nature addicts!) thinks that moths are dull, brown and horrible...we need to educate them!
