National Moth Night celebrates all things moth!
Beginners and experts alike can take part and help record and survey the range of species across the UK.
It's happening over two nights this year and specific species are being targeted in order to learn more about their movements and migratory habits.

Elephant hawk moth by 'Gtj-45' on our Â鶹Éç Wales Flickr group:
September is usually a good month for moths as home bred species mix with visitors fromÌý abroad depending on the weather conditions and wind direction.
You can take part at an organised event or set up a home made moth trap in your garden and send in your results and photos.
A old white sheet and a bright light at night can work wonders!
If you'd like to take part then visit the website for more information.
