• Resumen

  • Hooper features a group of amateur lepidopterists clustering around a lantern, inadvertently mimic the animals they are studying. Their home-made light source uses a mercury-vapor bulb and a piece of white fabric to draw moths into a non-lethal trap. There are some 2500 species of moth in the UK and only 60 or so species of butterfly-but they are the ones that get all the love.
