A very large Moth flew into the kitchen a couple of weeks ago. We've seen large moths like this before but as yet we've not been able to identify it. Well Melanie made up some sugared-water and fed it to the moth. It seemed to like the liquid and spent about 20 minutes drinking. These photos taken by Melanie show the moth and the extraordinary close-up reveals in detail how long a moths tongue is!
