two moths recently seen in Endon

A plume moth in my bedroom.

 A lava of an Elephant Hawk Moth crossing the footpath in front of me in my street. Presumably it was off to pupate having spent the last few weeks eating the leaves of local Rosebay Willowherbs, Evening Primroses or garden Fushias. The larva is about 80mm long, so easily spotted when you are about to step on it!
