[QUOTE="black52bird, post: 1201190, member: 12666"] [b]Finally things are moving in Budapest!![/b] Dear all Just back in Budapest after 10 days in Bulgaria (see butterfly thread for a few pictures - and make any corrections you think are needed!!) - for work!! - and so I decided to switch on the lights and see if anything wanted to visit......and I was relieved to be able to catch 2 Portland Ribbon Waves and one Bee Moth. Small pickings, I know, but huge in terms of the dearth I've been suffering so far this year I'm enclosing a photo of the Portland RW because I know it's a rare moth in the UK, and thought you might like to see it - a particularly nice fresh specimen, too. I'm also enclosing a picture of a moth I discovered crawling on the ground in a hotel car park in Bulgaria in mid-afternoon, plainly in a distressed condition. I take it to be a completely de-scaled and thus patternless Poplar Hawk Moth - would you think that was about right? After the photos I picked it up and took it to a less dangerous grassy area. Happy to be back amongst you!! Best wishes David [/QUOTE]
