Unexpected second generation Andrena haemorrhoa female (Orange-tailed Mining Bee) at Ivington near Leominster. This normally has just a single generation in the spring.

Wembury rock pooling today- 2 Babakina anadoni, 8 Spurilla neapolitana, 2 Aeolidiella alderi, 1 Aeolidia filomenae, 1 Rostanga rubra and 3 Elysia viridis. These new species are definitely becoming well established in the Wembury area now.

Yes, that's right. It's an attractive species. Often described as an ancient woodland indicator, but not exclusive to that habitat. It's widespread here in the High Weald.

Yes they love Ginger Lily Hedychium gardnerianum as well - incredible aromatic at dusk and would attract them from miles around - recent photo from Cornwall. Friends once stayed on St Agnes Scilly with this growing in garden - 50 Convolvulus Hawks came in each evening at dusk!

There has been an influx of Convolvulus Hawks Agrius convolvuli in southern England over the last week. Worth checking Nicotiana plants at dusk for these amazing moths. I often grow these flowers especially to attract them - some photos from previous years.

The Max Hooper, Ernie Pollard & Norman Moore experimental hedges at Monks Wood will be 65 yrs old next year. Planted as 1+ km of pure hawthorn in 1963, the aim was to see how long it took them to naturally diversify. They're still mostly hawthorn, but many other species have colonised.

This one has been appearing regularly on Rusthall Common for several years now.

Or the venue should have the screen higher - e.g. wall-mounted, up on a podium

Dewick's Plusia is a migrant we've not had before at our Grosvenor & Hilbert Park moth mornings

Clancy's Rustic, another migrant, from yesterday's moth morning. Has a lovely dove-grey colour but couldnt get the camera to capture it.
