UK Butterflies

Hi folks,

I run the UK Butterflies website at

www.ukbutterflies.co.uk

The website is dedicated to UK Butterflies, like it says, but welcomes contributions (e.g. photos, videos, articles etc.). And it has a forum Enjoy!

Cheers,

There are some amazing photos of moth traps in action in Kenya. They make our UK catches look pitiful. Go to:

then click on 'photo gallery'
and then on 'collecting'
Eat your heart out UK moth-ers!

I think I'd have a nervous breakdown if I had a catch like that! And I imagine that field guides don't exist for that part of the world. There may well be species that are new to science.
