What a brilliant site! So far it hasn't failed me - thankyou for all the trouble you take to make it work so well.

I searched your pictures of moths and believe I have seen a Lime Hawk-moth.
I took a digital picture of it, the colours seem slightley differant to your picture

Have today seen a Hummingbird Hawk Moth in our garden in Cornwall. A very useful site

I'm very interesting in which are the most colorful moths and I have made two moths into electronic moving decorations that are now available for quick delivery. In total more than 22 species of butterlfies, moths and dragondlies. Check my homepage for more up to date offers.

Site is so useful to confirm id .

Judy Maciejowska - 25 June 2003

Thank you for a fascinating and informative site. When I saw a beautiful red and grey moth on my allotment I scarcely hoped to identify it without hours trawling the library. But no! In one short google search there was your site and the cinnabar moth. Inevitably I've been spending too long reading about all the other amazing creatures. Now back to work!

Sandie Yeo - 25 June 2003

Brilliant site - so quick and easy to use. Well done.

Today 24-6-03 my wife spotted a beautiful moth on the garden fence. We have taken a photo of it. Through your website we have found it to be an \"Elephant Moth\". We live in Bournemouth towards the airport and have never seen this type of moth before.A very interesting website.

Len Eaton - 24 June 2003

Saw hummingbird hawk moth...Chrishall, nr Royston, in front garden..20-06-03..got interested and visited your site
Can't believe there was so much interest in moths....will investigate the subject further..

chris dale - 23 June 2003

Just been transfixed by a beautiful insect in the garden feeding off catmint and lavender flowers. I guess it had to be a moth but looked like a hummingbird, certainly nothing I've ever seen before - went onto the internet to identify it - search engine gave me your site and a quick search on \"hummingbird\" took me to straight to Macroglossum stellatarum with some great thumbnails too. Many thanks for a great website which quickly put me out of my misery - I might have had to spend hours in the library trying to identify it otherwise.

Many thanks, Chris

emma cram - 23 June 2003

A very interesting reference site. I used your database to recognise a very unusual (to me at least) moth - the Hummingbird Hawk Moth, that was busy eating nectar from Lavender flowers.

Paul Ashby - 21 June 2003

With the help of the beginners top 20, I identified two recent visitors, Elephant Hawk, our specimen being the most beautifully coloured moth I've seen, and Hummingbird Hawk, who's feeding on our Valerian flowers kept me fascinated for quite a few minutes.

Thank you for an excellent site.
