The habitat of the Trust varies from woodland, grassland to orchard.
We have had a few sessions of moth trapping in the last month. Some real beauties. With just over 50 species of butterflies, there are over 2500 moths which are often over looked.
Buff Ermine
Small Elephant Hawk Moth, Poplar Hawk Moth, Brimstone
Moths are around every month of the year, but summer is the time to boost those species numbers.
Silver Ground Carpet, Barred Red, and Light Emerald
Less distinct moths are no less beautiful close up.
Double Dart, Double Chestnut, Figure of Eighty, as well as various micro moths
