This little chap fell on to the windscreen in Wolvercote's Port Meadow car park, initially un-noticed, and then survived the 50mph stretch along Frieze Way and a visit to Kidlington Tesco's before ending up snugly in the wipers, above. I think it's a young Lime Hawk cattie but would be glad to know if I am wrong. Thanks as always. Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
I think it probably isn't Lime Hawk, as there is no sign of the wonderfully named 'anal flap' that should be visible (see https://lepiforum.org/wiki/page/Mimas_tiliae#/image/4/14). So either Poplar or Eyed, but not sure which.
