Some very unusual immigrants

The very warm weather and southerly winds brought some very interesting moths to the garden.  Of particular note were two Striped hawkmoths (one pictured right) and two Eastern bordered straw moths (below).  Neither breed in this country and the Eastern bordered straw is new for me.

Other immigrants that found their way the the garden over the last week include several Small mottled willow moths (below).
