Lunar Hornet Moth (Sesia bembeciformis)

At Cwmbach Community Wetland near Aberdare.

 

This cheeky one landed on my hand. Thanks to Mark Dutfield for letting me know that they had been seen there.

 

Attracted to a pheromone lure from Anglian Lepidopterist Supplies. Lure code: LUN. The following link will take you to their site where you can buy lures: www.angleps.com/
