Hummingbird Hawk Moth

You can attract this beautiful diurnal moth with plants such as Valerian and Buddlea. It has been coming to my garden for the past three years and comes in regularly during the summer days.

This year was my first year for frog spawn.

My pond supports damselfly and dragonfly larvae which emerge on hot days in late spring and summer, drying in the sun until their first flight as adult flies.
