Moth Celebration – Moth and Bats Species List

Privet Hawk Moth

Here is the full list of species of moths identified during our recent Moth Celebration. It’s worth a read just for the wonderful names. Thanks to Sally Hall for helping us identify them all, and to Isabel Macho of Carmarthenshire County Council for lending us the moth trap.

I have also included a list of bat species kindly recorded for us on the same night by Laurence Brooks.
