10am. At last a relatively warm night & the kids insist on the back porch light being left on. Here Tabby shows why with this large Smerinthus cerisyi, more commonly known as the one-eyed sphinx moth. These things are huge, you can hear their wings humming & seem to be pretty common here - although endangered elsewhere I hear. Not unusual to be woken by Tabby thrusting one she has caught into my face early on a weekend morning!!
