I haven't found time to post all that much from Wolvercote, Oxfordshire, in recent months, and indeed the garden trap hasn't been out as often as it might have been. My impression of the year is that it's been a little disappointing in numbers, but that species have turned up a little earlier than last year (and that, for some reason, Poplar Hawkmoth is having a
really poor year). A few nice catches in the last few weeks/months:
 |
| Blotched Emerald, 22/6/19 - a garden first |
 |
| Lime Hawkmoth (f. brunnea), 10/5/19 - the first of this form I've seen |
 |
| Privet Hawkmoth, 18/6/19 - only my second garden record |
