Direction(1-7): Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Lockdown sparked a surge in interest in moths, with a rise in rare species spotted last year. Sightings
were up by about a third - and many counties across the UK recorded species new to their area.
Experts are heartened by a new found fascination for the insects, which they say are ecologically
important but underappreciated and under threat.
Moths are somewhat overshadowed by butterflies, though they can be just as colourful and beautiful.
Moths and butterflies belong to the same group of flying insects - called Lepidoptera, or "scale wings"
in Greek, but likely emerged at different times in the geological past. There is no single answer to the
question of how to tell them apart physically, but there are some clues, such as flying habits, wing
position and the shape of the antennae.
They say July is the perfect month to find moths - and are calling for the public to go in search of
them. Mark Tunmore, editor of Atropos, the journal for butterfly, moth and dragonfly enthusiasts, said
all the evidence points to a surge of interest during lockdown. "It's not surprising in many ways,
because moth trapping is an ideal activity for the garden," he said. Moth traps are usually set up at
night, and checked the following morning, although some moth species fly by day. The different
species can be identified with the help of websites, apps and books. "All you need is a moth trap,
which is something you can construct yourself or buy from specialist dealers, and once you've got
that, you can run it in your garden and the moths will come to you."
Data from the National Moth Recording Scheme suggests there was a rise of around a third in the
numbers of people submitting sightings of moth species in 2020, while sales of moth traps also rose.
Several species new to Cornwall were spotted in the county, and it was also a record year for
numbers of some scarce migrant species such as Crimson Speckled, Slender Burnished Brass and
Scar Bank Gem in the county.
With many people desperate to find things to do in their own backyard during lockdown, moth
trapping provided a distraction and interest. Mark Tunmore said. "It's a whole new world once people
start looking at moths and they're amazed by what's in their garden," he explained. "Even in a very
simple garden you can have dozens or hundreds of species, potentially, recorded over a long period
of time."
