We were sat in the garden yesterday evening and noticed lots (really
lots)
of moths at a couple of bushes (Ceretostigma, I think it is called).
They
appeared to be 'drinking' from the blue flowers, we also checked the
Agapanthus which also seemed to have attracted the same moths. I had
heard
of bees going to flowers all the same colour but not moths. Does anyone
know what sort of moths they are? They didn't land but just stayed there
beating their wings all the time. It was fascinating to watch them, mind
you we had to keep the cat away, he thought they were there just for him
to chase!!

Regards Annie

We currently have a large number of silver Y moths who seem to like our
lavender. They sort of hover in front of the flower beating their wings
without landing. Maybe yours are the same?
