Strange Lights in Jacksons


As I walked my dogs through Jacksons Coppice early one morning I was drawn to a bright light shining out of a wooden box. The box was half covered by branches and lay just off the path.

Intrigued I followed the light.

If I had been a moth this is exactly what Chris would have wanted. He is our local moth expert and luckily I met him furthur along my walk so he could explain to me why he puts the boxes out. He is in the process of collecting data about these insects and you may see the bright light shining from the boxes if you are about early or late in The Marsh or Coppice.

Chris has asked that we please leave them alone so that he can collect more information about these insects.
