With a dash of lime

Hey, guess what? I've been trapping moths again!

This handsome creature is a Lime Hawkmoth. It's named for the leaves eaten by its caterpillars (i.e. the lime tree), rather than the lovely shades of green it has.

I got up really early to go through the moths before it got too hot. The weather here at the moment is a little on the warm side - about 17 degrees C at the moment, and it's 10.55pm! It's been into the high twenties during the day.

If this continues, I might have to start sleeping in the garden with the moths.
