| Hummingbird Hawk-moth, Macroglossum stellatarum |
On Sunday I attended a metal detecting dig and found a
Georgian penny, 1806 halfpenny, some buttons and musket balls. We disturbed a pair of Roe Deer when we walked into the area and they raced across the field. I then
checked out Fairmile Bottom and Houghton Forest where I found a Hummingbird
Hawkmoth.
In the evening I
took Sue to Fairmile Bottom and found plenty of micromoths and Sue found a colony of flying ants
leaving their nest.
