      It certainly is a moth but I agree it looks like it has a long nose :-) Thanks Pam. Hope all is well Diane

      Thanks Geraldine, I also love all poppies but although the red ones grow everywhere here I do not seem to be able to get them to grow in my garden! I love the Californian ones though. Hope you have a good week as well. Diane
