Not that I do, too, John, but your own county's site is particularly good and even while I was in Cornwall, I utilised their illustrated 'flying tonight' section repeatedly just to give an idea what was on the wing.
My only chance of seeing any moths at all at all at the moment is in the well-lit underpass round the back of my ma's house in N-E England. After six blank visits in the past month, finally got my first moth of the year in the form of a Streamer last night. Only the third one I've seen.
(I rarely write moth names down myself, but if I were to quantify the time it took to recognise what the unfamiliar abbreviation LBAM meant, I'd say 0.18 seconds )
I look at Hants Moths Flying Tonight when I can't ID a moth from the field guide - often the thumbnail photos enlarge into something close, and the numbers column helps with judging likelihood. I say often, I probably check half a dozen moths a year. It's a resource, but I don't spend more time on it than I need to.
I need Streamer! :t:
