Science activity - Marvellous Moths
Most moths come out at night. There are two easy ways of attracting moths into your garden after dark. If you get up early, there’s a good chance they will still be there in the morning.
- Hang a white sheet on a washing line. Hold or suspend a powerful torch behind it. The moths will be attracted to this light
- Get a grown up to some sugar and water/fruit juice and heat until the sugar dissolves. Soak some strips of old cloth in it and hang in a tree. Moths love drinking this sticky treat. More about moth trapping here:
