Leicestershire and Rutland Moth Recorders is an informal network of local naturalists interested in recording the moths found in the two counties. Many run garden moth traps - a great way to find out about the wildlife sharing your garden. A typical garden moth trap will catch several hundred species. Email: VC55CMR@gmail.com | Facebook Group
