... as will become clear from these posts. Despite coming from one of the great mothing families of Bedfordshire, England, I have been immune to the wiles of the wainscots and the pull of the pugs until a recent visitor brought us a beautiful portable trap and infected my four-year-old son with a thirst for mothing. Being a good mother (and this time I mean 'female parent') I have promised my children that they will be allowed to moth on weekends. Being a good daughter and sister (and slightly competitive) I have promised my family that I will blog our findings. What makes our trap interesting is its location on Grand Cayman in the Caribbean - it is possible that we will be trapping previously unrecorded species - unfortunately we have no guide book to help us so we will be mothing in the dark, so to speak.
Lets kick off with some pictures of moths I (and/or my father, Trent) have snapped over the past few years in Cayman. From this point onwards any identifications or info will be gratefully received!
