I was pleased to see some Hummingbird HM's on GW last night buzzing round those Buddlejas! Hope my cuttings have taken so I can have a good few of my own!
..just bringing up this old thread as I have another moth to identify...nutcutlet and others were good enough to put me in the picture previously.... this is probably another Silver Y but might it be something else instead....please...? thank you...

Hello - I'm not Nut, so I hope you and she don't mind me popping in here to suggest Death Watch Beetle - watch this and listen to the knocking http://www.arkive.org/death-watch-beetle/xestobium-rufovillosum/video-09a.html
I used to be involved with the renovation of old timber properties and the identification of DWB holes and activity
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
DWBs only do their tapping (to attract a mate) in the spring, usually April/May - would that tally with yours?
We always reckoned that DWB was much better to have in a building than woodworm - woodworm spreads much much quicker!

Hummingbird HMs love lavender.
Eek you really want one of those in your garden
Kill it with fire I'd say
not that I would

but I'd definitly wouldn't want one of those on my plants .. gah.. *shivers*
Ceratostigma is a favourite for the HBHM here, the shrubby one, willmottianum? or something like that.
