    Gilly just saw your post re the hummingbird h. moth. I've seen pix of them before but didn't realise they were so small! 

    Now that one is HUGE nut!!!! Can't say I've ever seen one of those- would probably pass out if I did!

    I expect, like butterflies, we have different ones in the regions we're in, so maybe I won't see one...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
