I have a good resident population of Hawkmoths as well, and they

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.)
