National Moth Recording Scheme

The National Moth Recording Scheme is a UK-based initiative that collects and shares data on moth populations across the country. Volunteers and scientists record sightings and catches, helping build a detailed picture of moth diversity, abundance, and distribution over time. This information supports conservation efforts, monitors environmental changes, and enhances understanding of insect health. The scheme relies on public participation, making it an important tool for tracking how local habitats and climate shifts impact moth species nationwide.
