You can find out more about UK moths on the UK moths website.
If you prefer a book as your field guide then I can definitely recommend The Concise Guide to Moths of Great Britain and Ireland by Martin Townsend and Paul Waring illustrated by Richard Lewington and published by British Wildlife Publishing. It might not solve all your id queries immediately, as moths can be very tricky, but it's certainly a very useful guide.
I recently blogged about A Year of Insects - Hoverflies.

moths can be as lovely and interesting as butterflies. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea... I need to do this!
ReplyDeleteNice photos - not so many moths here - too cool at night I think.
