stunning photo. Not likely to see them in my own (urban) oasis but was lucky to see lots at Samphire Hoe in Kent a few years back. Magical
Hi Philippa, the bedstraw if for the caterpillars (if we get any). The adult moths seem happy with any nectar producing flower. Ceratostigma here. Maybe because it's late floweringand we rarely see them early in the year
They seem to be on plants in the patio tubs, fuchsia, verbena, petunia, I will google the bedstraw plant, i am not to good on wild flowers.
I'm not sure they breed often enough in the UK to worry about what the caterpillars eat.
