Moth and Butterfly
​Observations

​Moths

A local expert, Stephen Howell, has made detailed observations of the moths and butterflies seen at Ashing Lane Nature Reserve. He recorded information during the summer months between 2015 and 2017 and here are the results.  Stephen's moth photos (including species seen at ALNR) can be seen on the Dunholme Camera Club website, click here.

More new species have been identified in 2019, bringing the total to 265.  There was a significant increase in the number of species recorded in 2016 over 2015 - 121 as opposed to 99. 

Many of these are micro moths which have wingspans of under 20mm - so identification and compilation of this list is quite a feat! Find out more about these exquisite creatures on the UK Moths website, or just enjoy the names.
