MOTHS

Over a year ago while helping with the Kent Wildlife Trust I discussed with a friend called Phil about his interest in Moths and how he trapped the Moths.
He suggested that if I wanted he would build a Moth Trap for me to use and a few weeks ago he contacted me saying that it was ready for collection !
After many attempts at getting the light to work and blowing 3 bulbs in the process I had my first crack at it.
This morning I woke at 6 and turned off the light & covered the Moth Trap and when I returned from work later that day I opened the trap to see what I had caught.
Below are a selection of the Moths
Many thanks to Phil for all his help with this new project.
