    Default Swallow-tailed Moth - Ourapteryx sambucaria

    Per UKmoths - "Reasonably common in Britain, but being strictly nocturnal and having quite a short emergence period in July, it is not often encountered by the non-enthusiast.The larvae feed on a number of trees and shrubs, but prefer ivy (Hedera helix)." Certainly it was the first time I think that I have seen it.

    Well, this (as can be seen) was caught inside the house... on the side that has a load of ivy, so no big surprise then
