My New Pet



soon (well, next Spring) to look like this:

it's a Poplar Hawk Moth, and will have a wing-span of 9cm. That's quite scary, actually!

Does your caterpillar have a name?

Hello George -of course you are not an imposter, feel free to be an honorary behavioural person!

I saw some brilliant hummingbird hawk moths in Cornwall, at the Lost Garden of Heligan (which I thought was surprisingly easy to find!).

He is being boring at the moment. I wish Spring would hurry up and get here so I can watch him emerge!

I saw my first hummingbird HM in Devon this summer, exploring a HUGE lavender bush in Phil's garden. I mean the moth was exploring, not me.
