Every evening, this little miracle flys into my garden and gets absolutely sloshed on the purple buddleia. No idea why, but each time it restores my soul a little 🥹💜 Apologies for squirrel in the background who sounds like they’re being strangled! #mothwatch #hummingbirdhawkmoth

MothWatch update: it still snooze.
The big fluffy grey delightful poplar hawkmoth from this thread, still snoozing on hawthorn bark.

MothWatch: it's still here, so having a cuppa & keeping an eye on it.

Also found a teeny little lacewing wombling about. #InverteFest
The chonky lime hawkmoth, still perched on a hawthorn branch. It's a delightful aeroplane shaped moth with wavy wing edges, a very fluffy body, and thin little legs. A+ moth friend just hanging about. A very tiny lacewing walking along the edge of a black bin. It has lacey teardrop shaped wings, thin little legs, shiny round brown eyes, and long very thin antennas. Good bug pal.

So it's now day 10.
Of the 10 eggs that I had, 2 have not hatched (and I doubt they will), 4 died soon after hatching, 2 are still 1st instar caterpillars and 2 are easily double the size and I suspect already at the 2nd instar.

2nd instar caterpillar. There are prominent stripes starting to appear diagonally down the green body. 1st instar larva. Most features are indistinguishable except for the prominent horn at the rear and prolegs.

Got a snap of this cutie emerging from their egg.

Day 1.
Oooh. I've got 3 hatchlings already!
The eggs were mostly transparent yesterday with a couple of opaque ones that were close to hatching. The remaining eggs have become opaque today. The L1 larvae are about 4mm in length.
