Canopy Moth Project
A moth trapping project has been carried out by Adrian Spalding at Trelusback to compare the number and quantity of moth speciees at canopy height with those trapped at ground level. A nine metre scaffold tower, provided by Trelusback Foundation for Wildlife Conservation, was erected next to a Pedunculate Oak tree with a moth trap at the top of the tower and another trap on the ground next to the base of the tower.
The work, supported by Cornwall Butterfly and Moth Society, Trelusback Foundation for Wildlife Conservation and Spalding Associates Environmental Limited, has now been completed. A report is being produced using the data obtained during the survey and will be published in the British Journal of Entomology and also on our website.
