Spurge Hawkmoth


This beautiful Spurge Hawkmoth was a surprise in my trap on June 21st 2007. At the time I caught it Sean Clancy supplied me with this summary of its status in Kent:
"- there were singles at Dungeness in 1993 & 97, and one at Smeeth in 1981. Otherwise Chalmers-Hunt listed five records he regarded as reliable, most of single larvae, the most recent in 1937."
