* Today's random act of wildness - Attracting moths *
On day 9 I tried to attract moths by making a wine and sugar syrup - unfortunately I didn't get much success. So tonight am going to try the old fashion sheet and torch experiment. I have set the sheet up and waiting until it gets a bit darker before setting a light on it.

Here are some of the insects I found in the garden earlier today, including lots of tiny Cinnabar moths and a bug that his an alien face on his body!
Stay tuned to see what I see in a few hours!!!

Stay tuned to see what I see in a few hours!!!
Good luck! I am hoping to do something similar.
