Last year marked the twentieth anniversary of Moth Night, when individuals and organisations carry out moth counts nationally. For the first time, the ranger team at Lower Cadworthy Farm turned on the lights and took part in the count.
Leading up to this, the rangers had worked closely with a member of the Devon Moth Group, improving their moth identification skills.
First of all, a Skinner trap is carefully placed outside and left overnight. At first light, the trapped moths are checked and individually identified before being released.
