Come and learn about the wonderful world of moths! We often overlook these beautiful creatures because they mainly fly at night, but the diversity of their shapes and colours is extraordinary. There has been a moth recording programme at Treborth Botanic Garden for nearly forty years during which time over 400 species have been recorded; moth traps are put out overnight and then the moths are identified and carefully released unharmed in the morning.
We are inviting you to join Nigel Brown and the Treborth moth recording team on Saturday 22nd August to see what has been caught in the traps. Will we find Footmen, Brimstone and Thorns? May be one or two Prominents, Gold Spots and Burnished Brass. Blood Veins are as striking as their name suggests and Setaceous Hebrew Characters may impress with sheer numbers. Depending on the winds, migrant moths, large and small may have made their way from the south. It is always exciting to discover what moths have nestled into the cardboard in the traps overnight!
No booking required. Please pay £5 on the day (children 12 or under are free)

Dewch i ddysgu am fyd rhyfeddol gwyfynod! Yn aml, rydym ni'n anwybyddu'r creaduriaid prydferth hyn oherwydd eu bod nhw'n hedfan yn y nos yn bennaf, ond mae amrywiaeth eu siapiau a'u lliwiau yn rhyfeddol. Bu rhaglen cofnodi gwyfynod yng Ngardd Fotaneg Treborth ers bron i ddeugain mlynedd, ac yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw mae dros 400 o rywogaethau wedi cael eu cofnodi. Rhoddir trapiau gwyfynod allan dros nos ac yna caiff y gwyfynod eu hadnabod a'u rhyddhau'n ofalus heb eu niweidio yn y bore.
Dyma wahoddiad ichi ymuno â Nigel Brown a thîm cofnodi gwyfynod Treborth ar ddydd Sadwrn yr 22ain o Awst i weld beth a ddaliwyd yn y trapiau. A ddown ni o hyd i Droedweision, Melynion a Charpogion? Hwyrach un neu ddau o Grybachau, Gemau Smotiau, a Gemau Pres. Mae’r Gwythiennau Coch mor drawiadol ag y mae eu henw'n awgrymu a gall y Cleiau Lloerol greu argraff gyda’u niferoedd mawrion. Yn dibynnu ar y gwyntoedd, mae'n bosib y bydd gwyfynod mudol, mawr a bach, wedi gwneud eu ffordd o'r de. Mae hi wastad yn gyffrous darganfod pa wyfynod sydd wedi nythu yn y cardbord yn y trapiau dros nos!
Dim angen cadw lle. £5 ar y diwrnod (plant 12 oed neu iau am ddim)
