I am having real trouble at the moment with moths. 'Good' moths have been eating my owl pellets, which is great as they munch up all of the old fur and make it easier for me to retrieve mouse bones from my collection trays. 'Bad' moths have found my old taxidermy specimens and have destroyed both my kingfisher and lapwing specimens in the last few weeks. I have had both of these for 15 years or more and the lapwing was in an apparently sealed case but as you can see it's now rather past saving.
