Get nocturnal at CAT’s Moth and Bat conservation night for Festival of the Future
Get nocturnal at CAT’s Moth and Bat evening next Tuesday (21st August), featuring local vice-county moth recorder Peter Williams. CAT is home to various species of bat, all of which start flying at dusk. We’ll use bat detectors to pick up their sonar and get an idea of the numbers we have here on site. A little later on the moths appear in their evening finery and will be attracted to our moth traps where we can identify them and let them go. If you’ve ever been confused by the shear variety of moths and would like Peter to shed some light on moth identification, this is the evening for you. Meet at 8:30 outside the shop and information centre at CAT, feel free to depart when you want but we’ll keep the trap on into the evening. Cake and refreshments will be provided. Families very much welcome. All the data collected will be fed into the National Moth Recording scheme.
Maybe you’ll get the chance to see one of these beauties… an Elephank Hawk Moth, and the Buff Tip.
