The lure went out at exactly 3pm
I waited, and waited and waited a bit more.
The at 4:55pm, nearly two hours later I was greeted by the sight of a beautiful but confused Male Emperor Moth.
This is the 3rd year running i've recorded it here, and my 4th garden record.
A few quick photos after netting him and popping him briefly in the fridge to settle, and then he was off zooming across the back fence to 'hopefully' find a real mate this time.
Always a joy to see.
Garden species no.41 for the year.
