Butterfly Sightings
We need as many sightings of butterflies and moths as possible - without knowing where they are and how they are doing, we cannot work to protect them. Sightings of common species are as important as those of rare ones.
Send us your sightings
You can use our Butterfly Recording form to report your sightings - it will help you find the map grid references needed:
Moth sightings are handled by our partner organisation www.dorsetmothgroup.org.uk
Sightings data
The records you give us will be added to our database, and from there will feed into national databases.
- Recent Sightings - records over the last 30 days.
- Sightings Archive - all previous records.
We record on a five-year cycle, e.g. 2010-2014. If you like a treasure hunt, go to our White Holes page to see where we are in the cycle and where we need sightings.
