The article focuses on the mated pair of Hornet Clearwing moths Sesia apiformis at West Walton, Norfolk, with some tips on how they were found. Topics discucussed include exit holes and an empty extruded pupal skin of the Hornet Clearwing Sesia apiformis at the bases of several hybrid black poplars in the central part of a row along the south side of Dixon's Drove; and the use of the apipheromone lure provided a couple of glimpses of a male of this species but he did not approach the lure.
