Whizz Pop Bang!

I don't know how many of our blog's households subscribe to Whizz Pop Bang!, which calls itself the Awesome Science Magazine for Kids, but it's encouraging to see that its Emmi's Eco Club column features a DIY children's moth trap. I warned the parent who tipped me off that it isn't the best time of the year to start light-trapping but apparently they've run it as part of a Hallowe'en, world of darkness theme. Anyway, it can always be set aside until the Spring.  Or maybe they'll get a Porter's Rustic. Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon
