Sighting Elephant hawk moth
Saw somebody else post one they'd seen so I thought id add this one that I saw chilling in my roller shutter at work a while back.

Hi all , very long snake in my garden pond . Recently all my tapoles have started forming into small frogs , is this why this is here ?? Also I tried to handle it and it tried to strike me 2 times , is it an adder ? Is it venomous??

Never seen a butterfly with a pattern like this before, didn’t know what it was at first.

Spotted in fowlmere nature reserve in Cambridgeshire. The area which was formerly used for watercress cultivation, has been under RSPB protection since the 70’s. One of my favourite places to go for a bit of peace and quiet.

They are huge!
After the video it hopped off my arm and sat in a leaf in a hedge it was really cool to see up close.

Looks like a snake but moves strange , put it in a bucket and released over the field

It’s eating probably 70% of my smaller koi , I watched him on two occasions strike and eat whole large frogs , in the video update you can see he had not long swallowed a fish and has a large bulge not far from the head , spends 1-2 hours in the pond hunting the smaller spawn frogs and fish then retreats back to a ivy bush , come in and out all throughout the day , should I remove the fish till it’s gone ? Or is it nesting int he bush ??

What seemed like a parent with two juveniles flying around tree to tree at the park
