Here are Moth (Micro- and Macro-moths) and Butterfly lists for the site based mainly on my own observations, plus those shared with me by fellow naturalists. The checklist follows the checklist order given in A Checklist of the Lepidoptera of the British Isles by Agassiz, D.J.L., Beavan, S.D. & Heckford R.J., 2013, with the butterfly list as built upon by UK Butterflies. All records are given provenance where known, but any inaccuracy is entirely down to me. If anyone has records they’d like to include, or corrections that need to be made, please contact me and I will insert and acknowledge them accordingly.
Not long ago, I was sent a heads-up by fellow Bristol & District Moth Group member Roger Edmundson of a new website that Martin Evans and he have put together called British & Irish Moths. I can thoroughly recommend it. There are lots of wonderful pictures and information about each of the macro- and micromoth species they have travelled widely to capture. If you want help with identification then this is a great resource.
