MOTH TRAP After Heatwave - GREAT WOOD Somerset UK 2025!

Robinson Mercury Vapour Moth Trap - Hawk Moths Galore after Heatwave in UK. I set my trap out for two nights following a heatwave (I hoped the peak temperatures may have encouraged some moths to emerge from their pupae). I couldn't show all the moths but I think I got footage of a good selection of them. I was particularly impressed by the hawk-moths (as I usually am) & that we got a good selection rather than just several of the same species. It was a lovely location & I tried to include some of the other wildlife I found of particular interest.

Books most useful for moth trapping identification & larvae rearing:
Moths of the British Isles - Bernard Skinner
Caterpillars of the British Isles - Jim Porter
