Most of these things sit still, no need for a pot shot? Early morning best before heat rises...

Theses were at an evening Moth event at the local nature reserve, with about 100 men/women/children - I took my chances as best I could. Getting to the front of the crowd was an achievement in itself. 😱

About 10 years ago I did a session here and an older chap asked if he could take some to show his wife. He took 3 pots, Garden Tiger, Poplar Hawk and Burnished Brass to release in his garden when done. He has been a moth trapper ever since! 🙂

Ah I see, tricky that. When I do public trap openings, I tell guests not to touch until an egg tray is counted then I pass it over and they can photograph til their hearts content...
