In defense of moths!

We discuss the diverse world of moths and what to do about the nuisance ones

On Thursday morning the Today programme reported on how rare furnishings and fabrics adorning properties run by English Heritage are at risk for an epidemic of moths. Shortly afterwards a new hashtag #Notallmoths started to be used on twitter, used by people keen to point out that we were in fact talking about clothes moths.

Survey officer for Butterfly Conservation Zoe Randle and costume designer Jeremy Angel discuss the diverse world of moths and what to do about the nuisance ones.
