Recording Moths in Cornwall
The main aim of establishing the Cornwall Moth Group was to encourage
recording moths in Cornwall.
We are a very active group and organise events
and surveys throughout the county, helping people discover our amazing
moths and to learn more about them.
Records by snail mail:
Please send hard copy recording forms to us at:
Tony James (County Moth Recorder)
c/o Cornwall Wildlife Trust
Five Acres
Allet
Truro
Cornwall TR20 8XT
Records by email:
Because the group receive so many records now it has been agreed
to spilt the workload between two Assistant County Moth Recorders
for Cornwall, roughly splitting Cornwall in half. All records will
be collated on a regular basis, so don't worry if you get it wrong!
Please send Cornish moth records only, DO NOT
send any large attachments without first contacting the recipient,
as large files may not always be possible to download.

be passed on to other recorders where appropriate, unless otherwise
agreed. Names and contact details of
recorders will be used for administration and verification
purposes only. Contact details will not be passed to other
