A pollinator in action

Amongst last night's 138 moths of 40 species in the garden here (rather more than expected with all that rain after midnight) was a Small Elephant Hawk-moth with orchid pollinia attached to its face.

I first noticed this on the same species back in 2015 (see report on the blog here) but it has taken seven years to see it again!
