Your records
Please keep your butterfly and moth records and send them in to the relevant Recorder as soon as convenient. If you collect a lot of records send them in monthly or by arrangement with the Recorder. Every record counts, even the more common species as they can be valuable indicators of change.
If possible, please include information about:
- the species
- numbers seen
- stage (eg adult, egg, larva, pupa)
- place (preferably a name from the OS Map)
- Grid Reference (please include if you can)
- description of habitat type
- date
- your name and address.
If you could submit your records on a spreadsheet, that would be really useful (though not essential).

Moth records
HIGHLAND MOTH RECORDING PROVISIONAL GRADING SYSTEM |
Vice-County recorders may query records from recorders, particularly inexperienced trappers. Please do not be offended by this. It is very important that records on the central database are accurate and we are anxious to avoid unverified records of certain difficult species being entered. Many species are common and easy to identify, but many can only be identified by genitalia examination. Between these two extremes are moths whose identification may be tricky, and records from experienced observers may be accepted more easily than those from the new moth trapper.
With this in mind we have provided a checklist (pdf file) showing the level of record required for each species of macro moth in the Highlands and giving an indication of which records are likely to be queried. |
Please send your moth records to the appropriate Vice-County
Moth Recorder, whose contact details can be found below.
Please visit the Moths Count website for more information
about the National Moth Recording Scheme (opens in new window).
