There are many more species of moth than butterflies. Once went on a moth hunt in Sydenham Hill Woods, something you do yourselves - https://www.nhbs.com/1?slug=moth-traps&q=&fR[hide][0]=false&fR[live][0]=true&fR[shops.id][0]=1&fR[subsidiaries][0]=1&hFR[subjects_equipment.lvl1][0]=Entomology%20%3E%20Moth%20Traps


But really best to post this on the nature thread.


If you are talking about clothes moths (perhaps retitle your thread) its always been awful in SE London. Get yourself a sticky trap to monitor them, cedar wood balls in your chests and wardrobes and nuke them with sprays and moth bombs. And then repeat every few months (sat here in a lambswool jumped with a few holes). Don't leave woolens on the floor, wash regularly, move furniture as some carpets will be susceptible too.


We have had other slightly larger brown moths that don't disintegrate when you crush them and are easier to catch, even though you don't need to. One obligingly flew into my mouth.

    • I agree re rents, but I don't think you can compare Croydon and Bromley with East Dulwich. Different kettles of fish. They both had, or possibly still have, big what used to be called "shopping centres" rather than just high streets. I think the one in Croydon is being "regenerated" or whatever the word is, isn't it? Also shopping habits are changing. Where once you would go to a physical  shop to buy things, now many things are bought online, where apart from the convenience there is more choice, and you can easily compare prices and see reviews. Re Lidl in Dulwich, I knew a very well off person with a house on the Thames in London plus various other places including a flat in Venice (!), who shopped in Lidl because she said their parmesan was excellent 😀 My grandmother used to be very sniffy about M&S (in the days before it became known by its initials) 😀 I think it would be great to have a Lidl nearer than Camberwell or Peckham, but I can't see it happening, sadly. I'd also like to see a Waitrose, preferably replacing Sainsbury's, but that isn't going to happen either, also sadly.
    • An Aldi or Lidl at the Harvester site would be useful. But, there’s a Lidl close by in Peckham.
    • Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).
    • Ah wonderful, I'll pop in and see him One more day and then the fundraiser will close. Just £70 needed to get to £1,500. Thank you all for your generosity and support. Private messages have been lovely.
