Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Britain’s moth population, including the spinach moth, has declined markedly over the past three decades, threatening the future of bats and birds that feed on them. A report by Butterfly Conservation has found that in Britain larger moths have decreased by 32 per cent since 1968, while in southern areas there are 44 per cent fewer, probably because of landscape changes, pesticides and herbicides.Peter H Photos – NEW, now offering a quality print service from just 8p a photo.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I hadn't really thought about it until I read your post. Years ago we used to get quite a few, and quite a variety, of moths come inside when the doors/windows were open and the lights on. Now we get relatively few. :-( Jo , peter hurd <swpgh01 wrote: > > Britain's moth population, including the spinach moth, has declined markedly over the past three decades, threatening the future of bats and birds that feed on them.
