I have recently started trapping(since August)and have plenty of reference
material for Macro's but very little information on Micro's.Having discovered UK moths I have been successful in my Micro identification and have not had to throw out any nore 'perishing Micro's'. I have found your website helpful in a whole variety of ways and intend to continue using it.

Hi,
I followed the development of a Hummingbird Hawk-moth from the egg phase until hatching from the pupa. The whole process took about two months. Look on my site for the whole story under Hawk-moth.

just getting started, but I am sure that the site will be invaluable for honing id skills.

I am fascinated by all the interest in the Hummingbird Hawk Moth. I saw my first HHM in Coventry this summer - I think it was July - and like many others, watched with interest as it was visiting my lavender plants, darting from one flower to another and hovering, just as the Humming Bird does. I saw another HHM while visiting my mother later in the summer, and hope to seem more Hummingbird Hawk Moths next summer. They seem to have been sighted all over the UK, which is interesting since many of your other visitors say they have not seen them before.

Just a curious biologist from the U.S. browsing the web. Very impressive site, glad to see the level of interest in a non-vertebrate group. Although, I must confess that I am a \"beetle-man\" as far as insects are concerned! I have run across some very impressive moths in my various forays afield in Arizona, California, Mexico and Costa Rica. Congratulations on a great site!
Cheers!

I saw a moth on holiday in Wales which we were not quite sure what is was altough i looked it up in a book it said it was the Humming Bird Moth and i am glad to say that we have confirmed that it was the moth as your pictures have them in flight it was lovely to see it again and reminded me our our lovely holiday.

Thanks

Lorraine.

fantastic site thanks

As a new 'mother' I have found this site to be the best way to identify some species after I have narrowed it down to the most likely candidates using Skinner and the Lewington feild guide. Thanks

I am scared of moths and am trying to get over that by studying them a bit. They are mysteriously beautiful!! Thanks for your enlightening websute.

Thanks for providing such a useful web site

Susie Hatch - 12 October 2003

This is a wonderful site..I am a primary school teacher and we found two very interesting caterpillars on our field last week, an elephant hawk moth and (the one I didn't recognise) a pale tussock. Thank you as I can now make a doisplay for the children to identify them for themselves and understand how we must look after them!

John noel Pheasant - 10 October 2003

ignorant of lepidoptery, but have played for 50 years with the tiger moth of DeHavilland fame.

Mark Dawson - 8 October 2003

An excellent site. I am just starting out having been given a copy of Skinner,which sparked my interest. I think I will be visiting this site fairly regularly.

Mandy Squires - 8 October 2003

A delightful site & sight! The top 20 for beginners was just what I needed to confirm that I really did see a humming bird moth last Sunday hovering and feeding from our tall verbena plants. Great pictures and useful info. Thanks!

gary nash - 5 October 2003

fantastic site never bothered about moths before until i was convinced that there was a humming bird in my garden in kirkintilloch near glasgow and it turned out to be the humming bird hawk moth i have never seen any other hawk moths but roll on the summer and i will be looking

Dilys Boot - 2 October 2003

Interested in all wildlife and since getting a digital camera although not very experienced in using it have managed to take some good shots of butterflies, but I think the picture of the humming bird moth is best so far.Bit of luck getting it so clear.

Rhys & Thomas Alexander - 29 September 2003

Your site helped us identify a moth that we found in our garden. It was the Convolvulus Hawk-moth (24/09/03). We have taken it to school and will release it later.
