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.
As with all our
evening events, please bring a torch and wear suitable outdoor
clothing.
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
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.
