The purpose of this website is to be a portal for Surrey and visiting moth recorders and inform how to forward records for verification and inclusion in the Surrey county database. The website is a new venture for Surrey Moths and as such content is little sparce; however, the site will undergo regular development and updates, so do visit often.
Contact us with any comments and suggestions.
Surrey Moths and HantsMoths are pooling resources to help with dataflow and verification in Surrey and Hampshire. In effect, this creates a south-central England regional team.
Butterfly Conservation have kindly forwarded a copy of the Surrey Moths (VC17) dataset held in the National Moth Recording Scheme database. It currently holds records up to and including 2020.
We are kindly asking all recorders who have recorded moths in Surrey to resubmit records from 2021 to 2025 with 2025 taking priority, followed by 2024, 2023, etc.; however, in the long term we want to request all records prior up to and including 2020 to fill in the gaps that we are aware exist.

Do you have any good quality moth images, especially of Surrey provenance, that you will be happy for us to use in this website? We are also happy to accept images of other moths, especially those that are rare in Surrey.
Ideally, images should be saved as a JPG and at least 1600 pixels wide and 1200 pixels high or better. Please also supply, if at all possible the date and location where the image was taken, although this is not essential.
We will credit all images.
Contact us for further information or to forward your images.
