Lime Hawkmoth

The moth-trap yesterday morning yielded my first hawkmoth of the season. A disappointing three moths were attracted to the light overnight but the two Hebrew Characters present were accompanied by a Lime Hawkmoth (Mimas tiliae). The best of the rest from an earlier catch was a Brindled Beauty (Lycia hirtaria)
