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.
Help with identification
Please DO NOT contact members of the group individually for help with identification, instead please use our E-group, where we have a number of people who may be able to help.
Please send hard copy recording forms to:

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.
Recording forms
We also need your records, so we try to make recording as painless as possible. We have designed several British moth recording forms for you to choose from. You can either download files or we would be happy to send a hard copy, just please contact us stating your name and address.
Please send only Cornish moth records to our Cornish County Moth Recorder.
