Hummingbird Hawk Moth

20th August.  A beautiful Hummingbird Hawk Moth visited our buddleia to feed.  This delightful day-flying Moth has been reported frequently around Norfolk this year, their numbers fluctuate year to year.

Historically, swarms of Hummingbird Hawk Moths were encountered by allied forces crossing the English Channel on D-Day 6th June 1944
