What's the best way to meet the moths in your backyard up close and personal? Host a Moth Ball! With the right kinds of lights, some bait and a large white sheet, you can invite some the 150,000 different species to come and hang out overnight with you and the kids.

I cannot wait for summer! I'm already planning to put this together for myself (oh and the children I love)!  Well explained, all the details, and the photography was exquisite! Includes the recipe for bait, supplies needed and great information about moths. Resources include bibliography and a bunch of great websites.
