An introduction...
I setup Hantsmoths in October 2005 (building on work started in an earlier website, www.bike2nature.co.uk) to provide an information portal for the county's moth-ers, and to give my burgeoning digital photo collection a home! It has gone from strength to strength and traffic is increasing on a year-on-year basis. It was extensively overhauled in 2010 and I have literally hundreds of updates to catch up! Mike
Moth Recording Tim and I would like to hear from anyone who is recording or thinking about doing so in the counties of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Our contact details are as below. Please also see the Moth Recording Guidelines. County macro-recorder: identification

Hi!
My name is Mike Wall (that's me on the right, at a Butterfly Conservation
event back in 2006), and live in Basingstoke, Hampshire. I've always been
keenly interested in natural history, and have been birding since a small
lad. However, my interest in moths didn't start seriously until I attended
a public mothing session in 2002. After that night when I was amazed by
the variety of species on show, I soon got my own trap and have never
looked back. In 2009 I took on the role of county micro-moth recorder
to share some of the burden with Tim Norriss, as thanks to the burgeoning
interest in moth recording in our county, the amount of data we now have
to handle is too much for one person.
