Ilam Park: Spring: Pop up Insect Exhibition

Meet real insects that we've found on site, wonderful moths, funky flies, beautiful beetles! What can we find?

During the previous night we will be conducting a humane moth trap so see what nocturnal insects and pollinators live in Ilam Park. Didn't think that UK moths were exciting, sometimes brightly coloured, even fluffy? Come along to be proved wrong!

Drop in between 11am - 2pm to meet them and find out more from one of our rangers.
