I made a gluten free chocolate cake for one of our volunteer’s birthdays and decorated it with flowers from the garden and M reported on the moths she had found in the moth trap this morning. There were 49 different species and 224 all together. We all love seeing them and learning their names. Lots of other work went on as well of course!

Mothing is such fun. I haven’t done it for years. I spy some gorgeous white ermines – I don’t know the others.

We all love seeing the moths that M traps. We learn so much and are always enthralled by the numbers – and some of the lovely names. 🙂
