I didn't see any nice walls this week, but I did manage to get a few shots of a Hummingbird Hawkmoth dining on a Buddleia flower.

This caterpillar is huge I have never seen one before but checking it up I found out it will turn into a Hawkshead moth, strange really because a Hawkshead moth landed in my garden a week ago

I've never seen one of these before, but I spotted this one in my garden earlier on today just before it started raining. I had time for one shot before it flew off. Unfortunately, it had landed on a lump of rusty metal in a pile of rubbish waiting to go to the tip, which didn't make the best background.

This is really just a "record" shot and I'm hoping it will turn up in the garden again in better circumstances.

Not one of my better photos but it is a rare find in the the UK so I just had to post it. It has a wingspan of 5 inches, this one landed in my garden and this was a bit of a quick grab shot.

B&M[25] - Emperor Moth

nobody@ipernity.com (StoneRoad2013) — Sun, 18 May 2025 08:28:38 +0000

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

Male Emperor moth [Saturnia pavonia], sadly deceased. [the grid is 5mm squares].
However, it is a splendid example, note the branched antenna and prominent eye-spots.
Found in the garden after a very cold night, it was not actually frosty, but close enough.
{apparently, the female has smooth antenna, and although there are eye spots, her colouration would be far greyer, almost monotone}.

After a bit of a search, I think this is probably a Drinker [moth] caterpillar.
