[QUOTE="Dom F, post: 3357587, member: 73343"] Only five updates today! The month is continuing with very little let up despite the clear skies and very bright moon. Sphingids are always great to catch and here I am amazingly lucky to have such variety - I have caught 22 species this year alone and am regularly getting 10-12 species a night at the trap. The dominant species at the moment are the Agrius duo of convolvuli and godarti, having not seen godarti before this year I am now getting up to six a night, along with 15+ convolvuli! [B]Agrius[/B] on the trap - five [B]convolvuli[/B] and a single [B]godarti[/B] (the second from the top). [B]Agrius godarti[/B] showing its lack of pink on the abdomen and the different pattern on the hindwing [B]Hippotion celerio[/B] - a species that is very widespread globally but this is only the second that I have seen. [B]Hippotion scrofa[/B] - a new species for me this week, its hindwing is a brilliant orange red but it refused to show it properly [B]Theretra indistincta[/B] - a large and predominantly brown Theretra with added bling in the form of its pink antennae [/QUOTE]
