Moths by Month

For each moth of the year from April to October, here are 5 moths that are likely to be seen across the UK. Moths are seasonal creatures so the first thing to think about when you’re looking to identify a moth is when is it flying? Look through images for something similar, and then check the flight times before you go further!

I’ve added links to specialist websites for each moth, which will give plenty of info and the option to go further
