It's Friday, aka Garden Moth Scheme day! Warmer temperatures look promising tonight, though rather wet for our more northern Moth'ers. What do you hope to see in your trap in the morning? #GardenMothScheme #MothsMatter #TeamMoth

It's the first night of Quarter 2 of our summer scheme, the perfect time to join in! Most moth'ers would reckon that it's been a poor year so far, but long term datasets like ours help turn that belief into scientific evidence. Get involved: gardenmothscheme.org.uk #MothsMatter
