The majority of day-flying moth records* for Warwickshire, Coventry, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield come from casual observers and dedicated volunteers who submit their sightings via our online recording form. Prior to 2018, sightings of day-flying moths were submitted as additional notes to our butterfly sightings recording form.
*All records submitted are processed and checked for errors before the data is submitted to Butterfly Conservation at the end of the season.
Note: Records submitted online prior to 1st January 2019 do not contain counts of day-flying moths, clearwing moths or lifestages. However, some recorders included notes about day-flying moths and lifestages in the additional notes when submitting records online prior to this date.
