Moth Event July 4th - 5th.

  Our July Moth event took place on July 3rd and 4th. For the evening event we gathered around 9.00pm to set up the various traps across the area in a variety of habitats and then spent some time watching to see what came in.





The morning started at 7.00 am with a large number of moths in the different traps, which had been bought to the Observatory for processing. Around 225 species were recorded, including Hawkmoths, Tigers and many others large and small.
