I LOOKED FOR MOTH SITED IN OUR TWO UK MOTH GUIDES AND FOUND NOTHING AND SINCE I COULD NOT TAKE MY MIND OFF THIS BEAUTIFUL MOTH I HOPED THE WEB COULD HELP ME MAKE THE IDENTIFICATION AND YOU HAVE DONE JUST THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR IDENTIFYING THE MARBLED GREEN MOTH JUST SEEN YESTERDAY IN THE BRISTOL AREA NEAR A LARCH TREE AND SITTING ON A CHOISYA LEAF.

NOW WE SHOULD BE LEFT IN THE DARK MUCH LESS SO FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS TO EDUCATE.

A very informative and interesting website. (Even the kids were interested)!! We identified the moth found in our garden within a minute, thanks to your Top 20 of most common enquiries. (The Privet Hawk Moth).

I think it might be a good idea to change the some of the wording for 2366 (C. tridens). I don't think the Republic of Ireland is in the UK. \"British Isles\" might be preferable.

Keep up the good work.

A very helpful website that has saved me a lot of trouble in the past!
Many thanks

I really enjoyed looking at this Web site, wish I had found this sooner in the year. I will make this a regular site from now on though. Keep up the brilliant work.

An absolutely wonderful site. I am a complete novice and wanted to discover what i had seen when walking our dogs on the South Downs. Within minutes of finding your site I had discovered they were 5 spot Burnets. Thank you.

spotted some bightly coloured ufo,s in the the garden so here i am.
Thank you for the super site info .....CINNABAR!!!!

hi, great site, just found a beautiful moth in my kitchen. A quick search revealed it is a Elephant Hawk-moth. Never seen any thing like it around here before. Its good to know that there is a simple and straight forward site to get all the information i need. well done!!!!

A tremendous effort- if only sites as good as this existed for other UK invertebrates. This site has really inspired me to learn more, and I have started recording moths having built a trap of my own. Without this site, I'd have litte clue as to what the moths I catch are! Well done!

Excellent site - Adult and Latin name of mullein moth at last.

The kids found a large pupa at the base of our apple tree in th eprocess of 'hatching. I have used your site to identify it as an eyed hawk moth. Thank you. I enjoyed your site and am impressed with the overall quality of information

Last year a neighbour found a large dark green/black lava with a long snout, I looked it up and found it was a Elephant Hawk moth.
I put him in a small dry box and very soon he was changing onto a chrysalis.
I looked in the box today to be greeted with the sight of him emerging into a beutifull moth.
I've only just got onto the net so was very pleased to find your sight which gave me a little more info.
Great sight keep it up.

Your site is a great boon to those of us whose first interest is not Moths but who nevertheless frequently find unknown species when looking for birds, dragonflies, butterflies or flowers.

The children spotted a large moth in the garden so I thought I'd try to find out what it was. This site was very useful. We have decided it is an eyed hawk moth.


Thanks.

Excellent site. have been able to confirm that a moth I have seen is Chimney Sweeper (Geometridae Larentiinae Odezia Atrata). This has been the only place I have been able to confirm it. Brilliant.

A marvellous site, pity I know nothing about moths. ! Found a large hairy Larva, with distinct black marks, but cannot find it in the top twenty at least.

Excellent,easy to use.

I am new to entomology but am very curious due to my love of plants.Great site!

Ihave just found a hawks head moth cossus in the garden 5 06 2002

I have abosolutely no knowledge of Moths but needed to ascertain what type of moth has taken over our bathroom!! The species is pre-dominantly grey and papery, very small and when resting it looks like a small stick. They do not appear to live for long and when they die they go to powder. They also do not leave the bathroom but follow the light. Any ideas of what it may be and how it breeds, could it be trapped here or have we the perfect conditions for it. We live in a 19th century stone cottage in North Wales.
Would appreciate any help in finding out what we are dealing with, so I can ensure its survival.

Thank's for identifying our moth. My daughters and I found a caterpillar and we decided to watch it grow (just for a little while). It became a cocoon and today it emerged and it wasn't a large white butterfly as we had thought but a Scarlet Tiger moth !! We were all very excited. My children, 3yrs and 5yrs, want to keep it. Obviously, we won't !

Excellent site. *The* site.

A bit difficult to search if you do not have the name. The pictures are wonderful

Very interestng and easy to use site - especially for someone who knows absolutely nothing about moths or butterflies!! My six year old son and I discovered a beautiful moth (I think.. I'm sure it wasn't a butterfly)last week as we were walking to his school. It was lying on the pavement waiting to be flattened by an unsuspecting passer-by. We acted as moth saviours and carefully placed the creature on the nearest bush! Trouble is, I can't find this particular moth/butterfly on your list. I've never seen it before (but then I'm no expert). The wings were spread flat, spanning about 2-3 inches. It was white with green bands. It had a central line of brown diamond shapes (my son noted that the diamonds looked like mini maps of the Isle of Wight!) Any experts out there know? I would be very grateful if someone could e-mail and push us in the right direction. My son (and I) would like to be able to identify this lovely creature. We live in Portsmouth - a very densely populated city and very built-up - not ideal conditions for rare moths! Many thanks in anticipation of discovering a brand new species. Steve and Billy.

A very well set up site with useful information and images

By far the best mothj site on the web at least now begin to get some idea of what is flying around my house.
Keep it up and updated.

Stumbled upon the site by chance after finding a caterpiller that looked like it should become a moth.

Hoped for some larvae pictures - but nevertheless i will be back again. Excellent !

I now operate a (nearly) everyday moth trap on the LLeyn Peninsula in North Wales. Seven weeks to date and moths include many prominents and hawk-moths including Striped H-m yesterday.
I also take digital images to prove my captures; but with c**p camera. Up to 52 species so far.

i found a moth and i used your site to id it and found it was an elephant moth thanks.
