Supporter Alan Titchmarsh said, “We want as many people as possible to get involved. Moths are amazing. They are the wildlife that can be found in gardens everywhere. They play an essential role pollinating plants and their caterpillars provide vital food for numerous species of birds, bats and small mammals.” Britain’s moths are in serious decline. Moths Count was prompted by research indicating that moth numbers in UK towns were down by around 50 per cent compared with 35 years ago.

The night-flying Garden Tiger is one of 20 moths that people will be encouraged to search their gardens for during Garden Moths Count, being held this weekend June 22-24. Garden Moths Count is part of the massive Moths Count project launched earlier this year and funded by an £806,000 Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
