This is a list of places where,on a suitable day, you are likely to be able to see the species listed. Unfortunately, as with most things in nature watching, nothing is certain ( but isn't that part of the attraction? ) and no gaurantees are given!

The list is not comprehensive and only notes the more unusual or interesting insects that may be seen. In the case of moths, only the day flying species are given.

If you are interested in a particular species you should check the best time of year for this to be on the wing.

As time goes on we will be adding links to further information about the lolcations and species in this list but please bear with us as we assemble this information.
