Two elephants in the garden...

Well...I think my hawkmoth statement is now thoroughly shot to pieces....I based it on where I used to live, perhaps here in Pembury they are more common....

Anyway....along came Small Elephant Hawkmoth....two of the plants they love, Red Valarian and Honeysuckle, are both present in my garden right next to where I have been setting the trap....

Small Elephant Hawkmoth

...and for comparison...rather nicely there was also an Elephant Hawkmoth in the trap too...
