Evening moth pollinators

As the autumn draws in, we are losing some of our interesting moths. During the summer if you are wandering around your garden at dusk, you will probably see a moth hovering over flowers like hummingbirds of the insect world using an enormous amount of energy while gathering nectar. The moth in this video is probably a Helicoverpa armigera or maybe Chrysodeixis eriosoma. These moths are some of the many invertebrates that go about pollinating our flowers. The caterpillar stage of the Helicoverpa armigera can be a bit annoying by eating its way into tomatoes, usually around the stalk.
