Elephant Hawk Moth

I have a good resident population of Hawkmoths as well, and they
occasionally fly in. (The other night a red-green carpet moth flew in
and sat for a good while by the keyboard near the light, looking very
handsome.)
if you should find yourself near Sevilla cathedral at night, but
before the floodlights go out, look up at the myriad nightjars
hunting moths.
What a sight! What a slaughter!
Some years ago a friend of mine would hang a white sheet over the line
and shine a UV light at it. That attracted moths like anything.
(I think I might buy a Blacklight next time I'm over at Maplins.)
