OPEN SPACE 70: MOTH INSPIRATION
DISCOVER THE MAGICAL MOTHS OF THE VALLEY
Our valleys are home to an extraordinary array of moths—flashing shades of green, gold, silver, blue, and even some as large as your hand! These stunning nocturnal visitors come in all shapes and sizes, offering a glimpse into the hidden beauty of the natural world.
While we were excited to share this wonder with you during our Night Moth Live Stream on Friday 14 July (part of Open Space 70), the weather had other plans. Unfortunately, high winds and heavy rain forced us to cancel the live event for safety reasons.
But all is not lost!
FREE ANDROID MOTH APP - NOW AVAILABLE!
Thanks to Richard Rainbow of HEBNAT, you can still explore the enchanting world of moths from your own device. Richard developed a free Android Moth App just for this event, and it’s now available to download. Dive into moth facts, images, and identification tools—perfect for curious minds and budding naturalists!

MOTH MAGIC AT HIGH HIRST WOODMEADOW
Although the live stream was cancelled, Hebden Royd Town Council did host a successful Moth Breakfast at High Hirst Woodmeadow on 1 July 2023. Early risers gathered to gently inspect moths as they were released from light traps, gaining a close-up look at these fascinating creatures.
We reached out to some attendees and invited them to share their moth photos. The result? A beautiful short film created by Chris Standley of Rogue Robot, combining the stunning photos from the breakfast event with original music by Madeleine Brooks, who was due to perform her specially written Moth Song at our planned live stream.
