While we were moth trapping Tom noticed some hawkmoth eggs had been laid on the backing sheet. These were carefully collected and then kept until they had hatched and grown into small caterpillars. They were then released onto a local willow tree and we were delighted to see that at least one of these had survived ... although the poor thing won't be so keen on today's weather!

| Hopefully the caterpillar(s) will survive to become the moth. |
