Moths @ Brambletye

Last night we put out our moth trap as it was set to be a clear night, with a Super-Moon too!

Our moth trap in action at dawn

We caught a few moths but they were mainly of a couple of species.

The moths slept on the egg boxes in the trap.

They liked our jumpers too...

We took a close look at the moths...

... And then we released them.

We discussed the the differences between moths and butterflies...

Butterfly wings do this ...

Moths wings do this ...

Bonus points if anyone can find out our moth species.

We then put the trap cameras up in some new places for next week.
