New study confirms that short wavelength light (UV & blue) attracts the most nocturnal insects & that intensity increases attraction for all colours. Longer wavelength & lower intensity outdoor lights should reduce biodiversity impacts resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #teammoth 🌍

A better picture of yesterday's Clifden nonpareil. Three were caught in my town over the weekend from two traps in two gardens at either end of the town, the other two much better examples than this one!
