Species Accounts
Our species accounts are a valuable resource for those interested in Kent's moths. Each page contains information regarding the species status and distribution within Kent, phenology, identification and ecology.
Currently, the Kent database contains records of an impressive 2,167 species. Some of these should be classed as adventives, and many are sadly now lost to us through extinction. However, new species are regularly colonising our shores, and the Kent list continues to grow each year.
List of Moths of Kent
Below is a list of the moths currently recorded in the Kent database. Macros are given using their vernacular (common) name first, and scientific name second. Through tradition, for micros, the scientific name is given precedence, with the new vernacular names appearing below.
