Day Flying Moths Identification for Transect Walkers
Why not expand your knowledge of those mysterious day-flying moths we see while walking but worry about identifying. We will cover 32 commonly seen species from 8 families with tips on how to tell similar species apart. We want to encourage everyone to start identifying moths on their transect as they are 30 times more species of moth than butterfly with equally exquisite lives and equally colourful and play a pivotal role in maintaining biodiversity and well worth monitoring.
