I know its mostly OT except that I was digging up a tree root when I saw this and that nearly counts as DIY.
Anyone able to identify these (I have looked on google but there are thousands and many of them look alike)
Seen in the south of England
My Dorling Kindersley "Wildlife" reference book thinks they may be Privet Hawk Moths.

They appear to have a head at both ends! I take it that they are two pairs in the shot. The lower moth of each pair seems smaller than the upper moth. Probably the males, and they're probably mating. A privet hawk moth seems likely, but there are quite a few species of hawk moths.
Think thats a hawk moth of some sort
Not enough detail to ID which one
