You don't need to have a Gatekeeper account to submit your butterfly and day-flying moth records, you can go right ahead and submit your sightings using the recording form below. However... with a Gatekeeper account, all records you submit while you are logged in to Gatekeeper will be available in your Gatekeeper page. You can edit and delete records that are awaiting verification and view all of your verified records in one place. Even better... you won't need to enter your name and email address each time you submit a record either! Plus, you will also have access to additional features and resources as we develop them.
Please avoid including the word 'Garden' in your location name when submitting a garden record.
