what a great site its rearly helped me alot

Great site, just used the keyword search to identify a beautiful green moth on my front door. It turned out to be a large emerald. Thank you.

Useful site we have been able to identify a moth. It seems we have a very large Privet Hawk Moth. In Benson, Oxfordshire.

Hello, ive just came across this site because i noticed a beautiful moth on the door at my work in cupar Fife.I have never seen anything like it and cant find a picture of it any where its very similar to parasemia plantaginis but has a black/brownish body and legs and a vibrant red head.The pattern on the wings are similar to species noted before but yellow and black with slight differences on markings !!! WOULD LOVE TO FIND OUT what sp it is

great site used it to identify an elephant hawk moth i found last night,the top 20 was very easy to use, thanks !!

Superb site, one of the best found for reference to moths

a great site for use with my entymologist-in-the-making 6-year-old daughter - we've added it to our favourites, thanks very much! we think we found a water ermine moth this morning - we live beside a pond. thanks again, kate and amy ruth

Have just seen a privet moth in my back garden and have used this site to identify it

what a great site, will use this both at home and work (countryside ranger) now i have found it - keyword search really useful when you have a vague recollection of what it migt be called!

Interesting site! I found it very useful in identifying the unusal moth we found yesterday on holiday in Scotland north east - we found lots of Slender Scotch Burnets - acording to your site not seen on the mainland since 1945! The good news is they were mating and there was 5 of them in a square metre with others flying around too. stunning creatures.

hi again Ian, It is some months since I last contacted you, when you identified the Light Brown Apple moth for me. I dip into the site on occasions because it really is interesting and serves to remind me how little I know about moths. However I am slowly, very slowly turning this situation around. Thanks for such a wonderful site.

A moth has just flown past me at work and I have used your site to identify it as a Swallow Tailed Moth. Thank you.

Great site using the index word search was able to find what i was looking for! An Elephant Hawk moth! very beautiful was nice to know what it is.

What a superb site man.
Much kudos to you !

Keep up the good work.

thanks great web site, saw my first white plum moth this morning, chepstow s/wales

found this wonderful moth in my back garden on the 6th july 2007.thanks to your site, it was so easy to find it's name. a very large privet hawk-moth.

Great site. I have identified a Privet Hawk Moth in East Lothian is this uncommon? The caterpillars are feeding on a Kilmarnock Willow.

Loved this site - although I couldn't identify a moth I found in our house 2 days ago - just in case anyone knows what this is -
The moth had its wings folded over at first - they were a rich brown with single spots - the underwings were bright orange but with no markings on them. In its folded up position it was about 3 cm long.

Hi Ian,
I work in Littleborough and today some-one brought a Moth into the office in a bag (still alive I'm pleased to say) They were worried as at the time they were unloading a container from China. I had a quick look and quickly identified it as an Elephant Hawk Moth and had them release it as it was indigenous. I was telling my better half tonight and thought I'd look up a picture on the internet so she could see how beautiful they are. Imagine my surprise when I found a picture on your web site with Ian Kimber of Littleborough quoted as the source. So I thought I'd take a punt that there are not 2 Ian Kimbers in Littleborough and thought I would get in touch, did you go to Hulme Grammar in Oldham? and have a brother Stephen nicknamed Wedge if so Hi it's me Peter Reeves from Hulme, get in touch if you'd like to compare, well I guess lives!
I'm sorry to use the guestbook link, but the E-mail link seem to be broken or needs Outlook or something
Of course if you are not that Ian Kimber, nice site and sorry to have troubled you.
Peter

Fantastic; I work in the pest control industry and the site as been most helpful.

I was walking in the street where i live in tetbury, glos.today and happened to see a rather pretty moth on the ground. I bent to look closer and put my finger by its head.I was amazed and delighted when it walked onto my finger and stayed there long enough for me to take two pictures on my mobile phone. I found your web site and was able to discover that it was a scarlet tiger moth. Thank you for making the web site easy to navigate.

Simply, THE BEST! the best web site for our Lepidopteral friends.

Looks like this site will be usefull, I am doing a moth project as part of a degree, would be usefull to search for the moths I am likely to find in my search area, ie my damp, shaded, garden in bedfordshire

A very good site, but did'nt contain the moth I have, so a bit dissapointing.

Fist time used very useful. Look forward to extending my researches.

I have just recently discovered your site and think it is wonderful. I am in the process of going live on my own site. If I ever have any pictures you do not have (which seems unlikely) I would like to submit them to you.

HI,we found an elephant hawk moth in our garden this morning and used your very informative website to identify it.
thankyou

I found your website extremely useful, informative and very easy to use.
Thanks.

great: particularly helpful to have natural posture pictures for the pyralids and the micros. site beautifully organised, and works very smoothly.

A very helpful site especialy for the micors
at least I can have an educated guess befor taking them to the experts
I'm moth traping in the garden and a local wood in Wiltshire
Many thank for a great site.
