Amazing Moths of Manningtree Gardens | 54 South St

Jun 14, 2026 (UTC+1)

Manningtree

Cultural Experiences

Experts open large moth traps in 2 gardens – eyeopener to the hidden world of insects – large, colourful & cryptic Meet at 9.30am in the garden of 54 South Street or at 23 Colchester Road when we will open the moth traps whose lamps have been on overnight. We will go through the catch together and identify the different species. There will be cover to protect against possible rain. At this time of year we could get up to 100 species - hopefully some large hawkmoths, some superbly camouflaged noctuids, some colourful tigers, some other insects - and always some surprises. Notes about their life histories, their crucial position in the food web, how they avoid predation, and their food plants - so you can encourage them in your own gardens. It will take an hour or more to go through the catch - then a short walk will take you to the second garden (if you want to visit the second garden, you wil need to book for each garden) to see their catch. Which will win the Moth Off? Please note that part of this event may not be accessible to people with mobility difficulties. This event is part of the Manningtree Earth Festival 2026 – a 5-week celebration of environmental action running from May 23 to June 30. Most events are free and volunteer led so if you can please donate when you sign up to the event. If you’re no longer able to attend, please cancel your booking as soon as possible so your place can be offered to someone else, as most events are free and spaces are limited.
