May 2010.
A date has now
been fixed for the next National Moth Night, the annual celebration of moths and
moth recording run by Atropos and Butterfly Conservation. NMN10, the twelfth
such event, will take place on the night of Saturday 15th
May 2010. The theme for this year is moths and bats, an
evening of bat detecting and moth recording.

NMN is all
inclusive and open to anyone to take part in, both expert and beginner alike. On
the designated date, participants throughout the British Isles are encouraged to
see what moths they can find in their chosen location and the results are pooled
into Britain’s largest survey of what species are on the wing. Much important
information has been generated on National Moth Night, including new species for
various counties, new sites for scarce species and records of rare immigrants;
amazingly, in 2008 a population of the White Prominent (a species that had not
been seen in the British Isles for 70 years) was discovered in Ireland.
It is not too late to submit your records for NMN09, see
www.nationalmothnight.info for details.
