late May.

Great Andy,glad you have made good use of the trap......A good selection and the Lime hawkmoth ..wow
Yes to Dusky Brocade..
Thanks for that Andy C. It's been quite rich and varied so far but very few 'micro' species for some reason, seems heavyweights rule the roost, in particular seeing lots of Elephant Hawk moths this year.
Fantastic stuff there Andy, caught Eyed Hawkmoth and Garden Tiger over the weekend but neither of them in Calderdale I'm afraid.
Hi Nick, interesting, both very scarce round here those two aren't they? Vaguely expecting the first Privet Hawk record round here some time soon on the (slender I suppose) basis that my brother found a caterpillar that exactly fitted the description last year but released it before I could get a photo. All good stuff.
