The map shows our area and its main towns, use it to put our distribution maps into context too.
This is a guide to the status of species recorded in our area. Maps are updated to 2022.
The notes are largely based on publications listed here. Notes from Colin Plant's (our County Moth Recorder) 2008 book are now over a decade old and so may not always reflect recent trends, where there are significant changes these are gradually being added.
The flight charts are gradually being updated to show the changes in flight time of many species over the past 40 years..
