Hampshire Wildlife Trust: July sees emergence of garden tiger moth
July offers ideal conditions to see the declining garden tiger moth, noted for its vivid warning coloration and woolly bear caterpillar. The moth thrives in wilder habitats and benefits from conservation-friendly gardening practices. Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust encourages public support through membership, offers nature activities such as shelter-building, and promotes participation in an intertidal survey to help document shoreline species and support local conservation efforts.
