            image.jpg I found this Hawk Moth under the rear of my car this afternoon when it was parked on my drive and I was just about to move the car when I spotted it.

            Anyway,if any one can identify it for me I would be most greatful as I would like to release it now it has dried out and I don't want to deny it food for two long if it has just hatched out (hopefully in my garden)

            I have tried looking through photos on the net but can't quiet pick out which one it is.Any help would be most appreciated...Thanks:smile:

                    ...or a bulk reduction on stripey pyjamas!!

                    Not sure if you can see, but there are LOTS of bumble bees, similar markings, on the marjoram. You could almost play "how many bees can you spot?" - I made it to 22...!

                                10 out of 10 for bravery and commitment but 3 out of 10 for his kids. Nothing very coochy coochy coo about them is there! :gaah:

                                and that nest didn't score more the 2 out of 10 either!!
