'Moth Night' event at Llanymynech Rocks on the 10 August

Hello Everyone

Below are the details of MMG’s (Montgomeryshire Moth Group) forthcoming mothing event which is this coming Saturday, 10 August at Llanymynech Rocks. The event is being jointly hosted by the MMG and Shropshire Wildlife Trust. We have a target species for this event - the Mouse Moth a species which has eluded us for many years, so we’re hopeful of trapping it this time. So please come along and join us at this fantastic site, the only place in Montgomeryshire where you can find limestone loving species.

Full event details are:-

Venue: Llanymynech Rocks – Target Species: The Mouse Moth.
Event Date: 10 August 2013.
Event time: 8:45 at the reserve car park.
Directions: The reserve is found between Llanymynech and Pant, and is signposted from main road (A483). Heading out of Llanymynech turn left just before the Cross Guns Pub where the speed limit changes from 30 to 40 mph.

Montgomeryshire Moth Group (MMG) is an independent voluntary group of people interested in moths. All ages are welcome to attend events whether experts or beginners.

This year all the events are light trapping events. We set up the light traps at dusk to attract moths and then release them after identification.

You are welcome to join us for as much of the evening that suits you, we are likely to stay for several hours. However, in case of cancellation, due to poor weather or unforeseen circumstances, always ring or e-mail to check the event is on before joining us. Please bring a touch and suitable clothing.

Please note that some sites are not easy to find, so please make sure you know where the venue is before you set off.

All the best,

Peter.
