Moth traps to monitor healthy ecosystems Moths are an important part of their ecosystem and are an indicator species, which means by monitoring them we can tell a lot about the health of the environment. But recording their presence can be difficult as they are nocturnal. Your donation will help us to buy a battery-powered moth trap containing a light that attracts the moths into a tube, where they are kept safe until the morning when they can be examined and safely released.
