Magical Moths!

๐ŸŒ™ Moths need us, and your garden or balcony can help.
Moths are brilliant pollinators and a vital food source for other wildlife, but like so many species, theyโ€™re struggling.
The @the_rhs and @wildlifetrusts are asking UK gardeners (and anyone with a balcony!) to pledge to support moths AND their caterpillars:
๐ŸŒผ Make a night-time nectar bar with flowers for adult moths
๐Ÿ› Let caterpillars feast by planting native trees and shrubs
๐Ÿ” Become a moth champion by recording the adults and caterpillars you spot
A few holes in leaves are a sign of success, not failure! Some moth foodplants, like foxgloves, are toxic to us but tasty to caterpillars, so leave the munching to them. ๐ŸŒฟ
Thereโ€™s also a free downloadable guide to help you identify moths and know what to feed them.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Take the pledge at wildaboutgardens.org.uk
