Good afternoon and welcome to another blog day..
I got it into my head a couple of days ago why not see what is flying around in my garden at night? So.....I proceeded to build myself a moth trap.....so a few pieces of wood....a plastic funnel, light fitting, electric cable, pvc to build the upper side panels and top of my trap then of course a special light for attracting those little creatures.......heay presto here it is... a moth trap.

So after setting it up one evening here is one of my visitors....a beautiful little moth. I manage to catch six that night and now I look forward to seeing how many different creatures I can see. I have decided to set my trap out a couple of times each month throughout the year and see what does visit my garden. I am hoping to find a few nice surprises as I go.
