The film will be followed by a talk titled 'The Moths of Northern Ireland: diverse beauty on our doorsteps'. 

Dakota Reid from Wild Belfast will speak about the amazing variety of moths that can be found in Belfast and around Northern Ireland - from moths of every colour of the rainbow in our parks and gardens to the rarities on our nature reserves. Dakota will give us a sense of the amazing beauty and impressive adaptations of a few of our 1,400 Irish moth species!  

Dakota is a conservationist by day and moth nerd by night! She volunteers with Wild Belfast and is a keen recorder of wildlife - especially insects, birds and intertidal invertebrates.
