My moth trap. The bulb at the top is a special one that's very bright. It stays on all night and the moths come to look. Then they snuggle down into the egg boxes below and stay there.
Here are the moths I caught on Friday May 18th:
Garden Carpet moth
Muslin moth
Spectacles
Shuttle-shaped Dart moth
Heart and Dart moth
A micro-moth, one of the Tortrix family
Above and below: the Iron Prominent moth. It's called Prominent because its front legs
stick out in front when it's resting.
And here's a male Emperor moth I saw on Whixall Moss.
And here are some moths I caught on Saturday 1st June:
Bee moth
Brimstone
Magpie
Elephant Hawk moth
Green Carpet moth
Peppered moth
Light Emerald
Clouded Silver
Pale Tussock
