I thought you might like to see a selection of the moths that I have caught in my Wiltshire garden over the last couple of weeks. I use a moth trap that has a bright light which attracts the moths. Hopefully then, as they fly around the light they collide with some baffles which sends them into the trap, where they hide in the dark amongst old egg boxes.
In the morning, I record what I have caught, taking pictures of some of them, before releasing them unharmed back into the wild.
I hope you enjoy them!!
