Mothing meetings

Fourwings · #1 (**permalink**) 02-01-2007, 06:36 PM

How many WAB members out there would be interested in attending some Mothing sessions?

For obvious reasons these take place at night so will probably require an over-night stay in the area in question.

A word of warning though, if you react badly to mossie,midge etc..... bites then this activity is possibly not the best choice for you

If we get enough interest then we will proceed with trying to arrange something.

I think you know that I'm up for some of these.

I would certainly like to do one or two well outside Leicestershire, and these may be incorporated into other meetings e.g. Wicken Fen, Thursley common etc. etc.
(Both meetings provisionally pencilled onto my WAB calendar)

I am interested but it will depend on where they are as i live in kent (seems to be miles away from most things)

I will deffo be into them and will arrange some over this way too. Cannock and Sutton Park. Oscar is to lend me a trap so I will have one on the go every time I sleep over at a meet.

We'll bring the equipment if you have the location.

Hey Oscar, you've hit on a great idea there mate.

The W.A.B travelling mothing experience, we've easily got enough gear between us to do this, I'm going to order another 125 watt MV rig as well as one of Adrians Actinic traps.

It would be a great way to meet other members whilst passing the "Mothing bug" on to them, plus you have the added bonus of bagging species that we would never normally see here in good old Leicestershire.
