A mate of mine had a big light trap thing and he gave me quite a few different hawk moths. I gave em all away in the end.

I had a jar to kill them with. Used to burn a piece of sulphur to kill em then dry them on little boards with pins holding their wings out. I've still got my net somewhere Edited June 6 by Bendigo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
