Hyles livornica migrant in Belgium.

[Bart Vanholder]

Dear Leps-subscribers,

At 12 July one Hyles livornica was reported in Belgium, Hamme (prov. East
Flanders). The butterfly was caugth while hovering before Phlox and
Lonicera flowers. The last report of the species in Belgium was in 1985,
when we had 2 butterflies very early during the year in april. It is more
common at the south-coast in the UK: any sightings there around mid-July ?
Any information about unusual migrants during the same period is wellcome

Greetings.
