Montgomeryshire Moth Group Events 2024 in association with Butterfly Conservation.

An evening of moth trapping - all welcome, beginners or experts. All events are free. We will set up lights at dusk to attract moths and then release them after identifying and recording them. You are welcome to join us for as much of the evening as suits you. Ideal to find out more about moths, the moths of Montgomeryshire and also to get photos of moths. Events may be disrupted/cancelled by bad weather therefore please check this website before setting off.

Please do not attend if you are experiencing any of the symptoms of Covid19.

Bring a torch/head torch, warm clothes and appropriate footwear. Some sites may not be easy to find, especially in the dark, so please make sure that you know where the venue is before you set off.
