These moths, along with other moths, are in the family Sphingidae because their larvae were thought to resemble the Egyptian Sphinx.
Just read up on them, and they migrate from southern Europe each summer, and numbers vary from year to year. Have been seen as far north as Orkney and Shetland. Might have to plant honeysuckle, they apparently like that.Quote:
