I was really excited to see the moths, they were lovely. The red underwing was my favourite is was very big. We didn't find lots of different moths only 3 types. I wonder why that would be? I also liked the brown moth it had lovely, pretty shades of brown. Can you see the moths tongue?

The earwigs loved the treacle mixture. I counted 11 earwigs all munching away!
I am going to do some more moth night time hunts and next time I think I will spread the wine cloths everywhere!!
