They are not rare, but the first hawkmoths of the year are always great to see.

The first hawkmoth of the year is always special, so it was great to finally get this Poplar in the garden.

Big moths need big caterpillars!

Cracking big moths

North Antrim - April 2022.

Co Fermanagh, October 2021 - Finding new moths is getting more difficult, especially at this time of year. A couple of nights in Fermanagh offered me a chance to see this species which is quite rare in Ireland.

A beautiful moth from Tuesday night in north Antrim. My second of 2021.

Quite a rare moth in Ireland, but fortunately it is found locally on the cliffs of North Antrim.

I wanted to know the name of every stone and flower and insect and bird and beast. I wanted to know where it got its colour, where it got its life - but there was no one to tell me.

Out and about this morning

What a appears to be a new species for North Antrim, and what a stunner! With less than 300 records in Ireland it is pretty scarce.

Very surprised to get this scarce and stunning moth in my garden this morning.

A Peony leaf stuck to the window so it was backlit by the sun. Colours inverted.
