The Jewel Box

How Moths Illuminate Nature’s Hidden Rules

Tim Blackburn

In 2018 Tim Blackburn’s wife gave him a moth trap for his birthday. At night he positioned the fluorescent-lit Perspex box on the roof of their London flat, and in the morning examined its contents. His finds included footmen, advancing as their foodstuff lichen recovers from pollution, the stick-like goat moth, spectacular Jersey tiger and minute silver Y, prompting reflections on our changing environment over his thirty years as an ecologist. Slightly off-mint.
