I haven't totted up yet but this year's garden list won't be as long - though the butterfly year is not over yet. :-) I loved the Long-tailed Blue as well - it was adorable.

I have always wanted to find one of those. Anyhow, very impressive and against my tally for the same year, you win by 10 including the moths!JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910443806244769469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-72892286442798614372013-12-31T08:06:40.345+01:002013-12-31T08:06:40.345+01:00Thanks very much Rosie!

Moth either but thanks to other people's photos in which I've seen similar kinds of moth, I knew to head for a Clearwing moth to start my IDing. It's a real shame the Hummingbird Hawkmoths didn't get up your way this summer. I hope you see more flutterbies next year!Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-27340215773507979182013-12-30T19:40:52.568+01:002013-12-30T19:40:52.568+01:00What a great selection of macros Mandy.

I really hoped to find some hummingbird hawk moths this summer as it was so warm but none appeared in the garden when I was about.
