By contributing your moth sightings to the National Moth Recording Scheme (via your County Moth Recorder), we can build up a picture of the distribution of each macro-moth species across the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands.
Such maps play a vital role in assessing the conservation status of species. By considering the rarity of each moth and, more importantly, whether the distribution of a species is increasing or declining over time, conservation priorities can be determined and action directed to the species at greatest risk.
The link below will enable you to view an up-to-date distribution map for any moth species covered by the National Moth Recording Scheme. For most macro-moths these are the first updated maps since the early 1980s, for some species they represent the first ever publically-accessible national distribution maps.
