Norman Hall organised the society’s annual moth-trapping event at Padworth Common on Saturday 20th August. As darkness fell, 7 bright mercury-vapour lights were set up at various locations in the north-west part of the common. Specialist heathland moths included True Lover’s Knot, Neglected Rustic, Narrow-winged Pug and Ling Pug. Several different forms of the striking black and white Black Arches moths were taken. A Dark Sword Grass was the only migrant moth of the night. Highlights of the evening were White-line Dart and 4 Dotted Clays. The bright lights also attracted 2 police officers, who came to investigate the unusual nocturnal activity on the common. Norman stayed overnight and showed a selection of the catch to interested members next morning, before releasing the moths unharmed.
