Privet
Hawk-moth Sphinx
ligustri  |

| Status .....After many years searching and hoping Privet Hawk-moth would turn up at the light trap, two larvae were finally recorded at Eakring Flash for the first time in 2009. This moth seems to be on the increase, with a westwards spread from the Newark area. Larvae also recorded in 2009 at Caunton and Wellow. Our thanks must go to David Yates, who trapped the adult photographed at Southwell. | ||
