Ben Sale and the Trust mothing team carried out the final moth trapping of the year at Gadespring on the first evening of October. As Ben says, "[t]he moth numbers weren't huge which is to be expected this time of year, but we got a great variety of different kinds and some early and late records thrown in to mix it up a bit". Ben mentions the moths particularly attracted to Ivy at this time of year. If you have this plant in your garden, it is well worth going out after dark, with a torch, and seeing whether you too are a host to these beautiful creatures.
