Re: Moth for I.D.

Hi Kalle

There will be a high percentage of Moths that we have over here but there will be quite a few that we don't.

On WAB there are a few of us that might guess the family of Moths that are not over here but whether or not any of us will know all the non British species well that's a different matter.

I would suggest you also join BirdForum - The Net's Largest Birding Community, Dedicated To Wild Birds as that is a world wide forum and there are some incredible Moth experts on there. One of them, Harri (Hjalva is his user name on BF) comes from Finland and what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing. So if we can't fathom out what Moth it is then perhaps giving Birdforum a shot might get the answer. If you did join them then this would be the area you would post a question.
Butterflies and Moths - BirdForum

Hope that helps.

John
