Migrant moths in Nitten Field

First OS map of Gower (provided by Gordon Howe) with middle leg of
this Convolvulus Hawk-moth is pointing to Mewslade. 

Last night there was a good arrival of migrant moths into the UK and two traps set in the Nitten Field at Mewslade attracted a very good selection of these. The highlight was a single specimen of the Old World Webworm (Hellula undalis), the first record in Glamorgan of this tropical species.
