Lunar Hornet Moth

My attempts at attracting Hornet Moth to the garden are probably in double figures now with no reward. Lunar Hornet Moth is even more mythical as no pheromone lure existed..until now. Within a week of ALS putting it up for sale I had my hands on it  - although my first two attempts produced nothing. A third session however hit the jackpot...absolutely superb!

Other dayfliers have been scarce recently, although Mint Moths are present on a daily basis:
