About the event

Ian has recorded moths for many years and had compiled an extensive moth species list for Potteric Carr. No better person to have leading this morning session on moth identification!

Watch and learn as the moths are revealed under the egg cartons in the moth trap. An amazing experience to see then up close before they fly away.

Our reserve now supports 905 species out of a total of 2500 known species in the UK.

Timings are a rough estimate, it will depend heavily on overnight conditions as to how many moths are active.
