Identify a day-flying moth

Breadcrumbs

One of the popular myths about moths is that they only fly at night. Here we help you to identify some of the moths which regularly fly by day

If you can't identify a moth using this guide, try www.ukmoths.org.uk. Alternatively the Concise Guide to the Moths of Great Britain and Ireland, by Martin Townsend & Paul Waring, published by British Wildlife Publishing, will help you to identify any larger moths.
