Poplar Hawk-Moth

An early start this morning, I went out with a small Nottinghamshire wildlife trust group to see some moth traps being opened for a regular survey.
I didn't realise how many species of moth we have - it's well into the hundreds.

(And yes, I know this is not perched on a poplar, but I think it was getting a little sleepy by this time in the morning, and it happily transferred from our pencil onto the Meadowsweet)

A couple more after the jump.
