Elephant Hawk Moth

They are beautiful creatures and mine only seem to arrive late evening - so how about netting off your favourite fuchsias?

I was invaded by these a few years ago and when I telephoned our Natural History Museum they recommended willow as an alternative - luckily we live near a stream where there are loads of willows so thats where they went.

Fortunately I only get a few each year so am willing to sacrifice Fuchsia foliage to them, I think they are wonderful but perhaps my opinion would change if I had an infestation :0)
