Hummingbird Moth

[Paul (E.L.G.)]

Ann,

There have been a reasonable number of sightings this year  of this
migratory species. The earlier moths have bred here and now produced many
offspring, as their main foodplant here (Ladies Bedstraw - Galium verum) is
fairly common.  We tend to continue to get reports of this species right up
to the end of November.
