Devon Moth Group set up some moth traps last night at Norman Lockyer Observatory. 175 different species were caught including a rare Maple Prominent (normally found in east of UK). Other favourites were the Privet Hawk Moth and the Elephant Hawk Moth, both very large creatures. Climate change suggests European species are now migrating northwards. A survey carried out two years ago caught 180 species, so numbers seem to be holding up here.
