White Ermine

This summerI discovered that you can see some amazing wildlife without leaving your own garden. We borrowed a moth trap from a friend. It is a box with a light on it. The light attracts moths at night and they get trapped in the box, then you can go and identify them in the morning. We caught loads of moths which i had never heard off before including some really pretty ones. If you havent moth trapped in your garden before you should give it a go. The moth in the picture above is a White Ermine and although it is common it is one of my favorites. Its white fleecey head looks cool
