I took delivery of my brand new moth trap today, a 125W MV Robinson! Hopefully it will work with my on-loan generator, and I can use it out and about. Very Exciting!
I will continue to use I current trap in the garden, up to the end of the year at least.
A NEW WEBSITE!
As of March 2015, an official website for Surrey Moths has been set-up here. There you'll find information on everything to do with the Surrey Branch of Butterfly Conservation, including the updated events calender for 2015. Hope to see you there!
A blog celebrating the moths and butterflies of Surrey, written by lepidoptera enthusiasts throughout the county.
Tweet your sightings to @surreymoths
Welcome to the Blog!
This blog, created by a batch of enthusiasts from around the county, is intended as an online resource for those interested in the lepidoptera of Surrey. For a competely land-locked county, Surrey is one of the best in terms of species variety, with a wide array of suitable habitats (from the heaths of Thursley Common, to the chalk slopes of the North Downs), providing host to over 1600 species of moth, and 42 species of butterfly.
A huge thanks to the contributors who help keep this blog up-to-date!

Elephant Hawk-moth
Smaller Moths of Surrey
The first, and only current publication documenting every one of Surrey's 1130 'micro' moths. An excellent read, with beautiful colour plates, distribution maps, and detailed species accounts, that will no doubt be of use to enthusiasts across the British Isles. Please consider purchasing from the Surrey Wildlife Trust website (see links below), with all profits being fed back directly into conservation work for the county.
