Billy Witch
I was startled to find this amazing creature in my moth trap this morning. Although I've seen pictures of Cockchafers before, I'd never seen one in real life. I'd no idea they were so big! They have a wonderful array of names as well - Doodle Bug, May Bug, Spang Beetle, Mitchamador - but my favourite is Billy Witch.
I had a record number of moths too, more than I could hope to identify! I know the one in extras though, as I had some last year and they are rather beautiful - it's a Small Elephant Hawk Moth.
