Some guidelines for people wishing to attend a moth night: It is useful to bring warm clothing as it may get cold or rain, suitable footwear for the countryside, a torch to find your way back in the dark, refreshments and something to sit on as you could be there for a while. The lights that are used to attract the moths are more powerful than the normal household lights so it is not a good idea to stare at the lights for long periods of time. Eye protection is useful either by way of ordinary plastic lens spectacles, sunglasses, other plastic eye protection or a wide-brimmed hat. Different species of moth fly at different times of the night, so the longer you stay after dusk the more species you are likely to see. If anyone is interested then they can contact me for further details.
