Join us to learn about and look at moths in the Secret Garden, Bourne Hill, Salisbury, SP1 3UZ. We’ll start with a short introductory talk about moths and then look through a moth trap and see what's flown in over night. Moth species have some incredible and bizarre names, like Setaceous Hebrew Character, Elephant Hawk Moth and Maiden's Blush. Others just look incredible, like Buff Tip (camouflaged to look like a birch twig), Poplar Hawk (photo below) and Jersey Tiger.
We'll provide hot drinks, orange juice, pastries and homebaked muffins.
“I enjoyed that so much and will look at moths differently now! And breakfast - wow!”
“Thank you so much. Wonderful informative morning, tasty breakfast, super setting, so welcoming and friendly.”
