No I didn't. This lunch time on TV was an item where someone had found in their garden in Sheffield Yorkshire UK a 6" wing span moth.They caught it and handed it over to a butterfly farm. It turned out to be from the southern hemisphere and was a female and was laying eggs which they hope to breed with.
It was said that the body was 5" long . I will have to check and it began with an 'A'
Checked ...it is a moth the atlas moth

Because of our heatwave it has survived, but no one knows where it came into the country from.

I also like the fly - a little extra "catch" in your capture...

I particularly like the first and third shots - composition is nice.
Canon stuff.
