A huge trap reeling in many new species, but unfortunately the moths were very active so several were lost (including a possible second lilac beauty!!*#!*!), so there was no oportunity to photograph the moths.

(James) From top: Buff tip looking just like the end of a stick!, another Privet hawkmoth showing off its colours, woah - the big pink! Elephant hawkmoth (its name is derived from the end of its abdomen which looks like an elephant's trunk), Buff arches.
