Wildlife Trust says, Are you someone whose experience of moths is of
their blundering into the lights on summer evenings, or, less harmlessly,
finding that they have been munching holes in your best coat? Then the
National Moth Night event is for you. It provides an excellent opportunity
to learn more about these fascinating invertebrates which are often
upstaged by their glossier cousins, the butterflies and do so in the
company of an expert.
