Moth Morning with Breakfast
Join us to learn about and look at moths in the Secret Garden, Bourne Hill, Salisbury. We’ll start with a short introductory talk about moths and then look through a moth trap and see what's flown in over night. Moth species have some incredible and bizarre names, like Setaceous Hebrew Character, Elephant Hawk Moth and Maiden's Blush. Others just look incredible, like Buff Tip (camouflaged to look like a birch twig), Poplar Hawk and Jersey Tiger.
