The Irish Wildlife Trust had a Creepy Crawley walk Sunday last - 21st July.
They had placed moth traps the previous evening and there was an amazing bounty in each of the two boxes the next day1 I saw moths I'd never seen before - didn't even know they existed.
The most striking were the Tiger moths - of which there were 28 + - very striking black and white wing markings over a bright orange back - and the Poplars - very large and complex - with no mouths at all!
We also walked around by the lake and on the raised bog.
It was a very pleasant outing indeed.
