Your cats are so pretty and I can see how they would be excited to see these huge moths. Earlier this week when we visited our daughter in Memphis, Tennessee, who has 3 cats we kept looking at them wanting to jump on birds from the window glass. She placed a bird feeder outside and we counted at least 35 birds eating seeds – the cats were wild wishing to get to them!Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-86972684895726170522012-05-28T09:14:30.461+02:002012-05-28T09:14:30.461+02:00The Giant Peacocks seem to be out and about at the...The Giant Peacocks seem to be out and about at the moment.

Lovely photo. Are we likely to get them here up on the ridge or do they prefer your riverine environment?<br />If it had been at one of our windows I suspect Katinka would have dug her way through the glass!!Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-31793638435245585002012-05-23T09:44:26.743+02:002012-05-23T09:44:26.743+02:00Susan, I found the moth last night... it is a Peac...Susan, I found the moth last night... it is a Peach Blossom Moth [Thyatira batis] La Batis... but it was very late and I wasn't going to turn this machine on!! And I am aware that there are a lot of very similar Ophions but I've only got Chimera-innery [as you know]so I'll use that name! [But I've put sp. for you]<br /><br />Gaynor... I think it is UP when looking/going towards the source [as in up the Thames] and DOWN towards the mouth or confluence.<br />And I think WOW1 does very nicely, actuerly!<br />Tim [in the Biblio]Pollygarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519711639714303756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-69230898074302525842012-05-23T06:46:41.749+02:002012-05-23T06:46:41.749+02:00What a great selection.

I've had Poplar Hawks here, but not seen the Eyed. <br /><br />There's no saying your <i>Ophion</i> is <i>luteus</i>, btw. There's about 8 species here and impossible from photos as far as I know.<br /><br />I've seen a photo or an illustration of that moth in a smoking jacket somewhere before, but can't remember where so I can't tell you what it is.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-15964497720252857322012-05-23T05:35:35.654+02:002012-05-23T05:35:35.654+02:001 should be ! !!!!1 should be ! !!!!GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373240096673970831.post-81732689057617049762012-05-23T05:35:01.981+02:002012-05-23T05:35:01.981+02:00WOW1
