This month saw National Moth Night and we were keen to join in. We set our trap on the Friday night, and on Saturday morning a small but eager crowd gathered in anticipation. We were not disappointed with approx one hundred different species being caught! Here are just a few from that haul...
Burnished Brass, which appears to glint in the sunlight
The delightful Spectacle moth
A beautiful Scorched Wing
White Ermine
My favourite and the king of camouflage, Buff Tip
Pebble Hook-tip
Elephant Hawkmoth resplendent in pink!
And a Small Emerald in green.
Pale Prominent
One very happy visitor with a pair of hawkmoths.
If you missed out, don’t worry, we will be holding another moth event on Saturday 17 September.
