Focus: Moth identification and recording.
Description: A moth trap will be run overnight. It is then opened in the morning to view, identify, and record the moths. This is a good opportunity for those with little knowledge of moths and moth trapping to witness the array of species which can be trapped at a site. After being examined, the moths either fly off themselves or are gently released into nearby shrubs.
