Bedstraw Hawk-moth


On September 20th Angus found this Moth at his trap. It is a rare migrant with about 12 previous Irish records. He was intending to get a better photo but the day was so warm (24C) it wanted to fly, so he let it go. Migrant species can travel thousands of miles helped by warm air flows from the South.
