So pleased to have found your informative web site.
I have been trying for several weeks to identify the caterpillar in the photograph which I have emailed to you. It was on the pond in my garden and has aroused a lot of interest, it is a beautiful creature.
Many thanks and congratulations on your excellant web site.
Frank.

Thanks

Your website is just what I want. I get a lot of micromoths coming into my conservatory and there are very few books to consult to identify them. I now don't have to bother my county recorder as much as I used to.

Many thanks for producing such a wonderful site.

Last week (Oct 15) I rescued what I thought was a small bird from my cat's mouth, and discovered it was a convulvulus hawk-moth. Though I understand thuis migrant is more often found in England these days, I was still surprised to find it in urban North London (Holloway). Any other sightings in this area?

Lucinda - 23 October 2005

excellent research on this site well done whoever made it!! Its fabby!!
You must be very clever and knowledgable to be able to know all of this and it must have taken you a while to get it all together!!

Thanks

Checked on your top 20 and found a moth which we had looked up in a book and thought to be a scarce umber but it looks as though it was No 16 on your list the feathered thorn. Thanks

danielle - 7 October 2005

what dose moths eat?

vince - 6 October 2005

i need to admit i have no interest in moths but i do have an interest in nature,little story for you,about 2 years ago i saw a humming bird(was about 50mm in length)in a garden i was working in the seaside town of eastbourne,i am not stupid as to think that there are humming birds in this country but thats what it looked like to me,but i kept my mouth shut,approximately a year later i saw another one of these humming birds so i decided to buy a book on nature from this reigion and guess what,yep a humming bird hawk moth,told my work mates(all buiders)and they laughed at me,they thought the idea of a moth acting like a humming bird was stupid.but today i managed to see another one,watched it for about 8 hole minutes close up,and with 2(builder)witneses,just checked out your website(6/10/05)to get the name correct for tomorrow for when we all meet up in the pub and i can say\"told you\".

Rajinda Pradeesh - 6 October 2005

Why you no have moth?

john bagshaw - 2 October 2005

GREAT SITE - VERY USEFUL FOR NAILIING DOWN AND IDENTIFYING CATERPILLARS

Lizzie Pellatt - 27 September 2005

This site is just brimming with vast amounts of information on this subject matter. Utterly fascinating. Pages that just entice you to enter again and again - as you find yourself literally getting 'the bug' for yet more knowledge! Immense thanks for all the hard work that has gone into compiling such an easy-to-use and informative website.

rod carter - 26 September 2005

i have difficulty in i.d-ing moths etc. but sites like this are a tremendous help

Mary Murphy - 21 September 2005

What an interesting and highly informative site. The extra photographs are a welcome addition. Sizes of the pupae and caterpillar would also be useful if they could be added to the text.
One would wish that each page had its own url so that one could send a paticular picture to a friend to have a look at what was found in the garden!
Thank you.

Norman Field - 20 September 2005

Thanks a lot for all your work - and that of your contributors also, of course!

An invaluable resource indeed!

Mrs Judy Skerman - 20 September 2005

I work as a Public Rights of Way Officer for the Countryside Unit in Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and I am very interested in Natural History and I am always on the look out for good sites on the net, which helps me with my work and interests. I have just discovered your site and we are all very impressed with it and have placed it in our favourites. Just thought I would let you know, keep up the good work.

Moths are so interesting. I love their colors. You have made a really neat site. I'd love for you to visit my site (www.animaltrek.com) and tell me what you think. Keep up the good work.
