Thanks a lot, we have found two moths, a puss month and a hawk moth, and it was really useful to find out what they were. Thanks a lot

What an excellent site - only just found it but I'm sure to be back over the summer. The identification keys look a brilliant idea.

My 8 year old daughter found an interesting moth and was desparate to find out what kind it was. I found your site through a search engine and was pleased to discover that it was a Lime Hawk moth. She is now looking for more interesting moths and we will probably be regular visitors to your site. Many thanks.

just found a buff tip and used your web site to identify - just looks like a silver bitch twig - in fact if it hadn't moved thats what we thought it was!

Spotted a large well camouflaged moth on our garden fence this week, have not seen one before. Identified from your website as Mimas tiliae,
the Lime Hawk moth most commonly found in the London area. Thankyou.

I work in a school in London where we are lucky enough to have a meadow as part of the site. I have just found that the stunning 'butterflies' we have see this week are actually cinnabar moths. I am sure we shall be making good use of this website.

An exceedingly helpful site, especially for those British micro's which are not covered by readily available text books. Keep up the good work.

Excellent website. I came face to face with a Poplar Hawk-moth the other day but did not know what it was until I identified it easily using the website.

I am a birder at heart but have just discovered the fascinating world of moths. I'm at a loss where to start.
Sharon John - 18 May 2004
I am fairly new at recording, so your web-site has really helped me to identify certain moths. Thank you.

Brilliant web site.
I arrived with an unidentified moth - know nothing about moths - and used your search engine of guess words to locate it.
I tried yellow.. I tried gold.. and then I thought.. well it looks like a Brimstone Butterfly, so let's try Brimstone...

I live in Los Angeles and saw an unusual moth. Using this site and a few others was able to identify the moth as a hummingbird moth hawk. It has been feeding on a honeysuckle type vine in my back yard. It has yellow stripes on its wings, orange on its back and it is about 1 inch long and hovers exactly like a hummingbird, which we do have quite a few of around here.
Catherine Wellings - 2 May 2004
The site is brilliant. I've just started looking at moths again after quite a long time and I think that this is exactly what the Internet should be used for.

I have just started a distance learning aromatherapy course (UK based) and found your site really helpful and informative. I'm sure I'll spend loads of time here!

A brilliant site in terms of content, structure and usability. I am starting to adapt my paddock/garden for wildlife and one of the things I am keen to do is to provide for moths, and hopefully to identify some of those that I can attract.
I've always been interested in birdlife but I'm now looking forward to a whole new world

As a beginner in micros I find your listings and thumbnails most useful.

Thanks for the site

The site is a wonderful source of reference.
Inspired to check for sightings of Hummingbird Hawk Moths, as we saw an early visitor on 11th April. Sure enough, others had seen them earlier. Something about this fascinating moth seems to encourage people to find out about it.
