Take part in WWT Arundel's Moth Morning on May 21 for close up views of a myriad of moths!

This pretty puss moth is one of 46 moths of 22 species (plus 24 cockchafer beetles) that were attracted by light into the moth trap during the May 7 moth survey at WWT Arundel Wetland Centre. Puss moths are covered with soft cat-like fur, hence their puss-cat name. After WWT Reserve Wardens identify the catch, all the moths are released.

Visitors can get close up views of amazing moths during WWT Arundel’s Moth Morning on Tuesday 21 May, 10-11.30 am.
