Butterfly Conservation Warwickshire
Moths of Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull
The region supports a wide range of moth species. Many are common, some are at risk due to habitat loss and others are seriously threatened due to their very limited distribution in the county.

Some species have not been seen for many years and their current status in the area is unknown. More information about their status is available by clicking on the underlined species names below.

Please note that due to the extensive nature of this list, details and photographs of each species will be added to this web site when time allows.
