Great site so nice to see real moths not just pinned specimens. A great aid to identification!
I run Kingsbridge and District Natural History Society and will publicise your site in our next newsletter. Perhaps others will follow your lead to make wildlife identification online a good and affordable route into wildlife study for all. I will introduce your site to our local schools, it will be great for nature projects.
Keep up the marvelous quality.
Seasonal greetings

Very interesting web site. I am a member of the Sussex Moth Group and have been interested in moths since boyhood. Keep up the good work, there are few people who take an interest in this subject.

Ian Smith - 24 September 2000
Many thanks for putting up this site. My wife and I saw a very large moth (3 inches long) on our house wall in Essex. Using your site we were able to identify it as Convolvulus Hawk Moth. We have taken a photo but doubt it will be better than the one on your site.
Many thanks
Many thanks

paula - 10 September 2000
Atlast.no pinned thorax no dried up abdomen.a chance to see moths in their full glory and wings not akimbo!natural and easier to identify.thank you.
I'm no lepidoptorist,just a potter with an immense sense of appreciation for these well overlooked insects.with that view point in mind i have turned my attention to making pots etc based on moth structure colour and character.
saw two pale tussocks mating and a varied selection this year.excellent.
